Re: Memory leak?

I'm not sure if that's bad or not. I can't change that for backward
compatibility reasons anyway, it's just an interesting question. As
far as I know, the reason Exceptions usually don't hold complex
objects is that they should be serializable. TemplateException-s just
drop the Environment when they are serialized, as the exception object
itself works with null Environment too.

Regards,
  Daniel
