For hard to find leaks, that's helpful.  Also (and it'd slow the !#$%@!!!
out of your program if you do it a lot):

count = 0; ObjectSpace.each_object {count += 1}

Gives you a count of the current number of objects.  If you do this in key
places (probably don't want to do it out of set_trace_func), it might help.
