Hi Manolo,
Since you're our Fl_Cocoa.mm guru, was wondering if you could
weigh in on the bug Peeter found a few weeks ago, and my proposed
solution that advises we perhaps switch our use of pthreads
in Fl_Cocoa (for handling add_fd()) over to using NSThread.
I think I did all the investigative work and found the solution,
but not sure I'm the right person to code it.
I wrote the original carbon threading code in question
(the add_fd() threading stuff), and I think that's been
fairly bug free, but apparently during the recent port to cocoa
pthreads apparently doesn't play nice with the cocoa libs.
By switching from using pthreads to NSThread in just the Fl_Cocoa code
might solve the memory leak.
Please see the STR for details:

This should maybe be a HIGH instead of a MED, as apparently a lot
of memory is leaking..
