Summary: Memory leak in _tkinter.c/Tkapp_SplitList()

Initial Comment:
Splitlist() function leaks any string given to it as a
parameter.
This code should reproduce the problem:

import Tkinter
b = Tkinter.Button(text='Leak',
    command=lambda:b.tk.splitlist('1 2 {3 4} 5 '*10000))
b.pack()
b.mainloop()

Funny, I thought I had posted a patch about this.  Could you
test the attached patch which is against the CVS version? 
It shouldn't be hard to apply to 2.2.2/2.2.3 either.
