Bleakhouse isn't as detailed as it could be, but it's better than using Objectspace.
Zed, do you think we should remove the object.log? My guess is that it leads people astray as much as it helps. Ara Howard has some good ideas in his leak checker "Dike", but again, it uses Objectspace. Evan On 10/12/07, Zed A.
