Hi Dimitri: I am taking this back to the list because your suggestion lead to the solution. I think you meant delete [] text[k]; in the above loop since obviously there has to be a delete for each of the MAX_NLEGEND new strings. Anyhow, valgrind is completely happy with that change so thanks for this suggestion that lead to the solution (revision 11546). Anyone care to have a go at explaining the difference in meaning between delete text[k]; and delete [] text[k]; ? Both compile, run, and produce good results; but the former annoys valgrind (and may actually do bad things) while the latter does not. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
