Found all instances of methods where split() is used without

any local variables and added a local variable -- see
http://snurl.com/21zf8.  My own testing showed that this
caused memory growth to level off at a reasonable level.
Note that the link above says the problem is only with class
methods, but my own testing showed that it's any method that
meets these criteria.  This is not a functional change, but
should hopefully be the last nail in the coffin of #1131.
