Subject: [ruby-talk:11642] memory use and "load"

Hello all,

It seems as though the 'load' command loads the file as any good
interpreter would - linearly.  So, the modules and classes and
whatnot that the load-ed file might subsume don't get replaced in
memory, leading to very interesting possibilities in memory
usage.  Am I right, or can classes get GC-ed?

That is:

while 1
   load 'somefile.rb'
end

would end up filling a lot of memory.

Jimmy
