Comment:

 I respectfully disagree.

 Whether your machine actually runs out of memory or not, this is still a
 memory leak of some sort. One million 10-point linestrings is not ''that''
 big a deal, and shouldn't be using gigs and gigs of memory.

 Alternatively, I could re-submit the bug with an extra zero or two on the
 1 million figure and see if peoples machines cope with it then.
