I can reproduce the bug. Calling for garbage collection within the
loop with gc() does not fix it. My first guess is that there is
a memory leak problem at the C level in the read.alignment()
function.

Thanks for spotting the bug with a nice small reproducible example,
I will investigate this further.

Best,
