memory leak in core.cu::Render

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, 
I was wondering if you free pDevScene etc. in your rendering call or if it is 
already reimplemented otherwise.

Regardless,
my code looks something like this:


And I found that no dev pointer gets freed, which after several thousand 
iteration fills up the gpu memory to the brim.

best regards
