Hm, I think so too. Can you verify this for me? If you verify that
1783 is fixed, I'll close it.

When used to implement synchronized classes, it leaks memory. :(
I suspect it leaks in other applications too.  I don't remember
the details, but it's going to be tricky to fix.  The implementation
of __call_method__ is quite complex, which makes it hard to fix.
Maybe if I took a fresh look at it, I could come up with a simpler
approach.

Interesting. Can you give a high-level description of what you are
using it for?

I doubt any do.
