This is even more basic - if you delete any one Geometry you will 
usually delete the PrecisionModel of *all* your Geometries.

There was discussion a little while ago about this when we first started 
porting GEOS to PostGIS.

As it stands right now, you cannot delete *any* GEOS geometry or you're 
royally screwed.

For catching the smaller leaks, a few people mentioned a really good 
opensource memory-leak-fixer program.  I cannot remember the name.
