Hi all,

The built-in memory leak detection in MSVC2008 seems not to work (no
line numbers), but I've found Visual Leak Detector to work amazingly
well (given that I don't know what I'm doing):
http://sites.google.com/site/dmoulding/vld

Basically, I installed that and followed the simple instructions, and
then added "include <vld.h>" to the top of obconversion.h, and then
ran "babel" in Debug mode with an SDF to SDF conversion.

Converting 5 files, there are 80 memory leaks. Then I found that one
of the memory leaks was one of my first contributions to OpenBabel:
_frag_atoms = new OBBitVec(_pmol->NumAtoms());. By adding a delete to
the destructor I got down to 70 leaks.

If anyone's interested in the log file I can provide it.
