That sounds like a bug to me. not following this thread, but putting 30M in the clipboard is sure to be a little, ummmm, strenuous. And pasting it somewhere doesn't remove it from the clipboard, just copies into whatever poor app happened to get the paste. So in theory, there are now three copies of that monster clipboard floating around 1) in the original app, 2) in the clipboard, and 3) in the new app. THat's 90M of extra stuff just floating around in memory.
