Generally there are a number of places in the code (many many actually) where single-instance calls to memory allocation are taken and never cleaned up like they should be at shut-down time because we assume that the nice memory-protected operating system will do cleanup at application shutdown. This is one of the middle-casse where yes, a (small) string is duplicated and never released but probably should be. If you want to submit a patch to our patch tracker to fix it, we'd be happy to consider it. But it's probably not a serious problem for most people. -- Wes Hardaker Please mail all replies to net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
