[plt-scheme] mred, bitmaps, and X memory usage/leak

I can definitely reproduce this on my machine.

before:
17499 root      15   0  406m  62m  14m S  1.3  3.1   1279:21 Xorg
after 1 min:
17499 root      15   0 1676m 1.2g  12m S 21.9 61.2   1279:55 Xorg
after killing and `collect-garbage'
17499 root      15   0 1783m 1.3g  11m S  2.0 63.5   1279:58 Xorg
after quitting mred:
17499 root      15   0  406m  38m  11m R  2.3  1.9   1280:01 Xorg

Matthew, if you want to test on my machine, contact me off-list.
