Huh. It's weird that I don't see a leak in either 5.8.7 or 5.10.1,
which are the two closest perl versions I have handy here. I think
this may be a platform-specific Perl bug. Still, it would be nice
to work around it if we can.

I'm not nearly good enough in Perl to be sure about the semantics
of this loop. Is it possible that it's changing the global contents
of the @$data structure, rather than just hacking a local copy of
each row before pushing some values into @fmgr?
