Bug in datasheet.c ?

[John Darrington]

Something is wrong with the implementation of src/data/datasheet.c or
the way I'm using it (possibly to do with the code in execute_syntax
in src/ui/gui/helper.c)  ...

To see the problem:

1.   start psppire

2.   load some data (from say a .SAV file), a

3.   open a new syntax window

4.   Type in a command, which does NOT cause data to be read (eg
     DISPLAY DICTIONARY or ECHO 'hello' )

5.   Run that command (using the Run menu).

Every time you Run it, the refresh gets slower and slower until after
about 6 or 7 times, it's ground to a halt.  Doing something that loads
fresh data fixes the problem --- it becomes nice and fast again.

The function which gets bound up in is datasheet_get_value

Is there some kind of leak internal to datasheet, or am I using it wrong?
