The "ReorderingPacketBuffer" is not a 'memory leak'.  *Every* incoming packet 
that gets added to this queue will later get consumed, and its memory will then 
get reclaimed (perhaps reused for the next incoming packet).  If an incoming 
packet weren't added to the "ReorderingPacketBuffer", then it would, instead 
remain buffered inside the OS - but without the benefit of being able to 
reorder out-of-order incoming packets.  And as I said before, if the length of 
the "ReorderingPacketBuffer" increases over time, it must be because you're not 
consuming the incoming packets fast enough.

Anyway, I'm not going to accept any more emails from you - unless they happen 
to describe a very specific bug, with a very specific cause.  Please remember 
that every message that's posted to this mailing list is read by almost 2000 
people - many of whom are experienced software professionals who are making 
quite extensive use of this software.  Whenever you feel the need to post 
prolifically to this mailing list with random 'software conspiracy theories', 
then please check yourself, and ask: Do you really think that you have some 
special insight that the other ~1999 people on this list don't?

In any case, please remember that Live Networks Inc. is not a charity, and I 
can't spend an unlimited amount of time helping out people who are using this 
software for free.
