[reportlab-users] Generating huge reports and memory consumption

[Alessandro Praduroux]

seems now memory is completely stable (better: fluctuates due to 
allocation/deallocation of the story, but this is normal :) ) with the same 
test script on my linux machine.

A big thank you, this patch contributes to another success story for 
reportlab.
I am migrating some business prints (from 5/6,000 pages up to 50,000) from a 
troublesome windows/msoffice based solution (the biggest problem was of 
course the use of MSOffice for those huge printouts) to a fast and reliable 
linux/python/reportlab solution, and this bug was the only big showstopper I 
had. 

I must say reportlab rules :))
