this is my code:
---
programData = MemPtrNew(imageSize);
....
MemPtrFree(programData);
---
there is NOWAY it misses the MemPtrFree call.. if it does, then the
program has crashed (before it).. and it does not do this.

ok.. i will check these out
i did this:
---
DWord startFreeDynamicMemory, endFreeDynamicMemory, junk;
MemHeapFreeBytes(0, &startFreeDynamicMemory, &junk);
{
DmSearchStateType stateInfo;
DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator(
TRUE, &stateInfo, sysFileTApplication,
creatorID, FALSE, &cardNo, &dbID
);
}
// launch the program!
launchCode = sysAppLaunchFlagNewStack|sysAppLaunchFlagNewGlobals;
SysAppLaunch(cardNo,dbID,launchCode,cmd,cmdPBP,&err);
MemHeapFreeBytes(0, &endFreeDynamicMemory, &junk);
ErrFatalDisplayIf((endFreeDynamicMemory != startFreeDynamicMemory),"HEAP loss");
---
and.. regardless of what application i load (i even tried puzzle.prc -
which comes with the SDK).. i get heap loss error..
strange? :>
az.
