memtrace.lst contains a listing of "memory that was allocated but not
freed" when Xitami is exiting for some reason (normally or in a crash)
-- typically it should either not exist at all, or if there's a small
memory leak it should be a small (say 10KB) file.

If it is being written as a very big file then that generally indicates
that the list of "memory allocated" has a cycle in it, which in turn
indicates that something very bad has gone wrong.  Possibly the code
should try to detect this cycle, and avoid going round and round in
circles, but with a large list that can be a bit tricky.

You can safely remove the memtrace.lst file unless you're trying to
debug what went wrong.
