Subject: 23.0.60; displaying SVG leaks memory

The following form makes Emacs use increasingly more memory:

   (progn
     (find-file "~/emacs/etc/images/splash.svg")
     (while t
       (image-toggle-display)
       (redisplay)))

Memory use remains bounded if I instead use e.g. ".../splash8.xpm".
