Summary: Memory consumed by (cllib:open-url)

Initial Comment:
CLLIB:OPEN-URL seems to be chewing up memory.  Evaling either (close (cllib:open-url (cllib:url "http://yahoo.com"))) or (cllib:with-open-url (stream "http://yahoo.com") ())chews up ~ 200-400K.

I think the problem is that background processes aren't being cleaned up.  Check (mp:list-all-processes) on Lispworks, sys:*all-processes* on Allegro - you'll find a number of sleeping "Timeout Monitor" processes waiting around unused.

I could not replicate the problem using (port:with-timeout (5) (princ "in process")).  The timeout processes may have a stream open or something, and are failing to get cleaned up?  So, I'm assigning this to CLLIB.
