It shouldn't be -- the memory allocation that the HDF5 module (for R) does
are all simple allocMatrix and allocVector.  Garbage collection should work..

One thing to remember is that HDF5 files are quite dense, and there is
probably a factor of at least two memory overhead for loading into R.
But this does seem to suggest that garbage collection is not occuring, though.
