[gt-users] memory leak in callback

hi, i'm running gtpython from a web-server and occassionally see this
message, though often, it'll refresh and work correctly:

[Fri Dec 05 10:58:23 2008] [error] sys:1: RuntimeWarning: memory leak
in callback function.
apache2: src/core/bittab.c:187: gt_bittab_bit_is_set: Assertion `b &&
bit < b->num_of_bits' failed.
[Fri Dec 05 10:58:24 2008] [notice] child pid 26870 exit signal Aborted (6)


i'm guessing the callback function is my track selector:

def track_selector(b):
    if b.get_type() == 'miRNA':
        return b.get_type()
    return b.get_strand()


is there something i can add to make sure there's no mem leak? or let
me know if/how i can provide more helpful info.
it's intermittent, and i'm not able to find a small test-case...

thanks,
-brent
