Hi all,

> It hasn't given me any problems, except for a memory leak issue that appears to be particleIO related.

I think this is fixed as of changeset f2e555c03efe in hg.  The issue
was that I originally designed the particle io to be a proper data
object, which was a mistake.  I have now modified it to simply be a
reader, and this now avoids reference count cycles that required the
garbage collector to be called.  I think in the slightly-longer term
future I'll just get rid of the particle io *object* completely.  That
layer is no longer necessary.

If this causes other problems I didn't see when testing, well, then we
have a problem -- let me know.
