After sucessfully installing GPC I tried the following (basically a loop around the stringutils test-program). However it seems to have a memoryleak, after a while (~14%MEM on my machine) it comes out with a segmentation fault (and with top you can see that the memory usage grows)...
The memory leak is not in the unit, but in GPC itself. It's a known problem with some string operations (especially concatenation) in a loop. (If you can read /proc/n/maps, you'll see that it's the stack, not the heap that grows.) Moving the thing out of the loop (syntactically, e.g. in a subroutine) is a work-around.
