 The main problem with this is finding the memory the graphics library
allocated for the tempA. No pointer to it is returned, and it seems
unlikely that we'd find one hanging around. I also hope that this bug
will be fixed in the next release; in the mean time, it's easy to
avoid in programs you write (just allocate the tempA yourself).
