I had the same problem, was pointed at autosave as being the culprit and added:

(auto-save-interval 0)

to my gschemrc file (in my project directory)

I have also read (perhaps in the FAQ) that setting the G_SLICE
environment variable as:


export G_SLICE=always-malloc

will work around this problem.  I have been told that this has been
fixed in CVS and will be in the next snapshot.
