[datatable-help] Memory leak bug reports

[Steve Lianoglou]

Hi,

A (short) stab at the dark:

I know you do some fancy mojo in C land (over allocate and some self
ref stuff) -- I wonder if you need to explicitly delete the extra
stuff via some RegisterCFinalizer cleanup-voodoo in C land as well,
which is triggered when the R object is `rm`d.

Maybe?
