in thread does threads (still) memleak?

Thanks. It's looking more and more like the suspicions I've had and voiced about 5.8.8 and threads are right. Something pretty fundemental broke in that build and has only recently been corrected.

That why I stayed back at 5.8.6. (I forgot why I rejected 5.8.7--I seem to recall having some problem with it when it was first released--the installer or maybe PPM didn't work right).
