Yes, thank you, Thomas, I am just building with the following patch:

You were 3 minutes faster ;-)

The build with this patch is finished. Apparently, that was the culprit, for now
I get:

So, the "tlmi_setting" memory leak appears to be fixed by this diff.

The next step is to add Armin-suggested patch:

A build on top of 6.3-rc4+ fcd476ea6a88 commit is on the way, with all three included.
