Thanks for noticing this, I could reproduce the issue (and will fix it ASAP).

I also received some important advice from Fons offlist, regarding the
usage of zita-convolver that is especially relevant when running on a
multiprocessing machine. In that case the code may leak large amounts
of memory on reinitialising the convolution engine (every time you
load an impulse, or change a parameter). I haven't had a chance to
check this, so please be aware of this possibility. I know how to fix
it (thanks to Fons) and will do so very soon.

So please stay tuned for an updated, corrected version, should come in
a few days (I have to get a multicore system for testing and set it up)...

Thank you all for the patience and the nice comments,
Tom
