leaking memory during object initialization

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

class Foo {
  // if bar is not default null, it seems to be leaked during initialization
  Object bar;
}

n := 100000000;
i := 0;
Foo foo = null;

while (i++ <= n)
  foo = Foo();

----------

Object bar appears to be initialized but never freed for each iteration, and 
quickly consumes all available memory.

Fixed in rev 8b43ed92023d (it's difficult to create a usable regression test 
for this)
