Running with two side-by-side non-dbfawk setups, same otherwise as
the above setup, I don't get that operation.  The one with weather
alerts enabled is running about 200k more memory than the other, and
it doesn't increase when I zoom in/out a bunch of times.  They are
both increasing slowly as more stations come in, as they should.

So... Looks like there may be a memory leak in the weather
alert/shapefile/dbfawk stuff which makes its presence known when
dbfawk and weather alerts are enable.
