windows binary problems - wallet.dat growing

[m4rkiz]

i think there is something wrong with (at least) windows binary, for the past few days i used it to register number of domains and wallet.dat grown to some ridiculous size (hundreds of mb) which caused some namecoin stability issues that eventually led to crashing every time that i start it

i successfully used this method https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25091.0 to fix wallet and from what i can see there was 98% of redundant data - duplicated keys
after this procedure my wallet has few mb size and everything is working fine - i already moved all balance and domain names to another vm

it happens every time (3.24.66 windows binary, all files in \user\AppData\Roaming\Namecoin\ removed, new wallet.dat is created and it seems that with every name_update\firstupdate it gains average of ~300 kb)

I noticed this, too, a while ago.
