[Fwd: Re: [R] Memory leak in R v1.5.1?] - resolved

No, attach() adds things to the search path (and logically, although
not always physically, copies them). This is not reversed when the
function exits. [It is not obvious that it has to work that way, but
currently it does.]

*Something* has to work that way -- functions do need to be able to change
the search path after they exit (eg library()) -- though it doesn't have
to be the default.
