    Howdy brats.
    
    I'd just like to inform you about a memory leak that Hiro and I have spotted.
    Thereby you may look out for it, and clearly N pairs of eyes more easily spots
    the problem than 2, provided N > 2 of course. :)
    
    We find that the leak occurs when using BrEventIO in tree mode for output or
    when useing BrOutputTreeModule. This could point to somewhere in their common
    mother class BrIOModule, but it is not certain that the problem lies here. Trying to 
    quantify the leak I lose about 16 MB in 7000 events. But don't put to much into this 
    number, as one would imagine that the number of bytes per event depends on the 
    content of the output event node.
    
    Hope that someone stumbles across the source of the leak one day.
    
    Best wishes from
    Jens Ivar
