good catch, thanks, for two reasons

- there was a change in this routine in order to use NormalizedC string
which in this case lead to subtle change in behavior leading to the leak
- I've copied my NormalizationC snippet from another source file but
changed the variable name at a wrong place, so essentially this method did
NOTHING :-( embarrassing ..

trunk will be fixed in a few min, I'll backport that as well to 3.0

Thanks,

Stefan
