How would you come to the conclusion that something is being "leaked"? >the other examples demonstrate the same effect but much quicker. > >any ideas on whats going on? You'll probably going to have to: 1) Use precise language to describe your problem. 2) Produce a simple(r) test case which demonstrates it. ...if you truly want this fixed. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't think that anyone is going to want to debug a large application to figure out what or if the problem is. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
