valgrid --leak-check=full ./Lens will reveal many. Need to add/register ExitProcs.

It turns out that these are generally unproblematic. Most originate from functions in the Tcl/Tk libraries. The ones that don't either are recoverable by the OS, or are trivial. They should still be handled, but they are not a barrier to use.

I'd like to know more before actually closing this. Another set of eyes on the issue would be invaluable.
