ok... I took a quick look, and I didn't understand some things.


commit eb08d4480969c8e48347c7621bd96dc248ee2138

    Remove another memory leak
    
    Pointer gets over written without ever being properly cleaned up.  This
    should solve that problem.

		^^^^^^^^^
	 }
	 
	 void auto_toggle_tuning()


tuning_window::window_refresh() calls clear_tuning(). which deletes tune_window
and sets it to NULL. then init_tuning() called.

the fishy part is that it all happens within that `if (w)' in display.cpp window_refresh()

        if (w) {
                w->ypad_pos = 0;
                w->xpad_pos = 0;
                w->window_refresh();
		^^^^^ here we kill tuning_window
                w->repaint();
		^^^^^ and here we try to execute its function?
        }

can someone check (or prove me wrong) if we actually have problems here?
if we do -- then was it actually tested?
