We are using DocumentLoader to manage the opening of PowerPoint files,
and have recently discovered what appears to be a memory leak.
As a quick background, these are self-advancing presentations, created
using Microsoft by the end-user, who then uses our product (CentOS
based) to display the files.
When the cleanup routine is called, it appears to do its thing, but a
bit of time later, the machine is almost frozen from all of its memory
being used up... and after taking a look at the processes on the
machine, we tracked it back to this.
Below is from our log file...
It looks like it reaches the end of the slideshow (event
OnEndPresentation) and fires the Cleanup routine... but is it working
past that point? Appears to not be.
Are there any known issues with this sort of thing? Anyone else seeing
this?
Thanks!
Chris

I don't know how you created your logs, but at least in this log I don't
see traces of the document being closed (Event OnClose, disposing etc.).
But maybe that's part of the last line.
Besides that, the document being closed does not mean that it is removed
from memory. It's possible that it is still referenced somewhere and so
the object is not destroyed. I think that eating up the memory
completely - as you described it - would require thousands of such
dangling references, but you never know.
So look for references to documents (models) in your code. In case your
application is implemented in Java, don't rely on the garbage collection
doing the work for you, it might kick in just too late.

Mathias
