PIL ImageGrab.grab memory leak

E

Erik Max Francis

This simple program chokes eventually (after ~70 snapshots) on my
Windows 98 machine:

while True:
ImageGrab.grab()
time.sleep(0.2)

with the IOError "screen grab failed." At that point the Python
application is unusable; it has consumed all memory. Quitting and
restarting the application return it back to the original state.

Is this a known bug?
