What version of XML Calabash are you using? There was a bug where the
variable wasn't being freed, but I fixed that a while ago.

The thread local variable is used to communicate between the runtime
object and the implementation of the function.

The problem is:

1. The class initializers have no mechanism for passing in the XProcRuntime.
2. The instances that are evaluated are constructed by cloning the objects.
3. The implementation of the functions has to be able to access the XProcRuntime.

                                        Be seeing you,
