A severe memory leak exists when executing an algorithm multiple times

[svonolfe]

When executing an algorithm multiple times, the memory consumption skyrockets. To illustrate this phenomena, try the attached test project which executes the GA_VRP algorithm multiple times (using 10 iterations).

I was able to trace back the problem to the Run::Initialize method using the CLR profiler and created a patch for that method. The test project contains the patched dll.

Please note if you enable algorithm.StoreAlgorithmInEachRun you can see the memory leak. After applying the patch, if you disable algorithm.StoreAlgorithmInEachRun the memory leak seems to disappear, or at least becomes less severe.

The problem seems to be related to the recent cloning refactoring.
