JSUI memory leak? Update: nope, maybe mcwrapper

    I made a test patcher with the JSUI 360 DIAL JSUI file and noticed the memory usage growing steadily. What I'm seeing could be normal JVM memory usage and garbage collection but it seems excessive and the JSUI objects are associated with a crashing patcher.
    N.B. the stack trace below is from a more complex patcher with 8 JSUI objects. Later in this stack trace, the mc wrapper object tries to free a corrupt object (possibly a bad list from JSUI? vexpr?).
    On my machine, Activity Monitor shows a 1MB leak approximately every 10 s.

      A slight update… I changed the post title.
      I was able to isolate the crash from JSUI, so it looks like this is a problem with the mcwrapper.
      The stack trace shows a memory error (EXC_BAD_ACCESS) after a mcwrapper call to object_free(). The patcher uses vexpr and iterates a list to setvalue to control mc.line~. I changed to use applyvalues (rather than setvalue) with mcwrapper. So far, no further crashes.
