Becky,

The referenced pint-mgmt-opid-cleanups-0001.obj patch above is the exact same 
commit that I've identified as causing the memory leak.  If we revert that 
change from the OrangeFS code, the memory leak ceases.  So, it appears that 
something isn't right with the changes Sam made.  When you said that Sam made 
a comment about the pint-mgmt.c change, was he talking in reference to this 
pint-mgmt-opid-cleanups-0001.obj change or the one Bart sent you that was just 
an early return on error.

Also, we are indeed testing with both the 2.8.2 branch and the latest OrangeFS 
code and both code bases have this change in them.
