Constant IDE crashes

Since I am experiencing constant IDE crashes after one or two 
executions of a small app I am working on, I was wondering if not 
freeing memory that has been allocated using (ct:malloc) has any 
effect on CCL. I.E, I don't free any memory between runs of my app. 
A couple of runs later and the CLL IDE either crashes outright, or 
hangs.

In one case I use a hashable to store C arrays containing OpenGL 
color RGB values. (Q: How do you iterate though each entry in a hash 
table, setting each slot to (ct:free)) ?

It's a small OpenGL application that makes use of the SDL library 
(www.libsdl.org). I have been working on the FFI definitions to SDL, 
on and off for a while now. The FFI definitions run around 54KB, 
most of which had to be edited by hand, rewrite C macros etc. to get 
past limitations in the parser... e.g...

//SDL_ACTIVEEVENTMASK	= SDL_EVENTMASK(SDL_ACTIVEEVENT)
#LISP (progn
	(export 'SDL_ACTIVEEVENTMASK)
	(defun SDL_ACTIVEEVENTMASK ()
		(SDL_EVENTMASK SDL_ACTIVEEVENT)))

... is an example, oh and having to rewrite several hundred key 
mappings is always fun...

typedef enum {
	/* The keyboard syms have been cleverly chosen to map to 
ASCII */
	SDLK_UNKNOWN		= 0,
	SDLK_FIRST		= 0,
	SDLK_BACKSPACE		= 8,
	SDLK_TAB		= 9,
	SDLK_CLEAR		= 12,
	SDLK_RETURN		= 13,

... become ...

#LISP (win:defwinconstant SDLK_UNKNOWN 0)
#LISP (win:defwinconstant SDLK_FIRST 0)
#LISP (win:defwinconstant SDLK_BACKSPACE 8)
#LISP (win:defwinconstant SDLK_CLEAR 12)
#LISP (win:defwinconstant SDLK_RETURN 13)
#LISP (win:defwinconstant SDLK_PAUSE 19)
#LISP (win:defwinconstant SDLK_ESCAPE 27)

...

Anyway, the application displays a multicolored cube in a window, 
clicking any mouse button rotates the cube about the Y axis.

The application runs fine under XP (actually, in the previous 
version of CLL, the application would run, but then generate an 
exception on exit). Under NT/98, the application runs but the window 
will not close after the program exits. Under 95 the application 
will not run at all.

If anyone is interested I can email you my SDL FFI definitions, my 
expanded Opengl FFI definitions (all of v1.1), and my OpenGL example.
