1202	"Any ""IO Pixbuf"" will cause memory leak."	guest	somebody	"Now every function return ""IO Pixbuf"" will cause memory leak.

I attach a simple demo to recur this issue:

module Main where

import Graphics.UI.Gtk
import Graphics.UI.Gtk.Gdk.Pixbuf
import Control.Monad

main = do
  initGUI

  w <- windowNew

  pb <- pixbufNew ColorspaceRgb False 8 1000 1000

  forM_ [1..100] $ \_ -> do
    pixbufScaleSimple pb 1000 1000 InterpNearest
    return ()

  onDestroy w mainQuit
  widgetShowAll w
  mainGUI

not just pixbufScaleSimple, other function like pixbufNewFromFile, pixbufRotateSimple has same problem.
