Can you explain how/why this memory leak exists?

Also, why do you need symbols to solve this particular problem? Originally this person just wanted to display ones and zeros. [text3d] seems to take a list of floats just fine. See my attached patch.

Finally, Alexandre's version of the patch mysteriously crashes PD entirely for me (on WinXP). Not sure why...

Right. So, if we want to write iterate text, we will need to do
something that will cause a memory leak...

Feature request : No memory leak with symbols !!  ;-)
