No worry.

This tests shows that there's a loop in the data structure reference (See 
https://metacpan.org/pod/Test::Memory::Cycle#SYNOPSIS for more explanation).

This may be a problem as memory loop cannot be garbage collected which may 
lead to a memory leak.

With TkU, a loop may be hard to spot as callback function are likely to be 
involved.

I'll check this out.

All the best
