[OS X TeX] Memory leak, how to debug?

[Markus Klyver]

Just hangs. The only thing not giving any memory leaks is just calling the LaTeX binary without any flags or arguments: it works as it should. And no, the problem is not the shell. I have tried running latex in csh, no difference.I'm using a Macbook Air 2013 model with OSX 10.8 installed.

Is there any way to debug the cause of this behavior? Note: this kind of behavior arose with the update.
