memory leak when writing #67

I apologize if this is a very basic question. I'm using ruby-vips in what I think is a very simplistic way to process a few thousand TIFF files and convert them to PNG. It does convert files to PNG but fairly rapidly gobbles up all available memory:

requite 'vips'

for file in Dir.foreach('image_dir') do |filename|
  next if File.extname(file) != '.tif'
  png = tiff.sub '.tif', '.png'
  img = VIPS::Image.new tiff
  img.write png
end

Is there something I'm doing wrong here? I noticed that if I comment out the write it is able to successfully read in all the images, so it appears to be caused by writing the PNG file?
