There's infinitely many ways mem leak bugs can happen. The only way
you can help debugging is to post actual code that reproduce the
issue. I personally don't care how long the code is, as long as it's
easy to run.

I am running the 0.5 release now and it behaves in the same way - not 
releasing memory.  I can't say if this only has to do with 0.5 but not 0.4. 
 Probably it happened in the same way with 0.4 but I just didn't pay 
attention then.

Since there is no mechanism in Julia like in C/C++ for the programmer to 
free previously allocated memory, I don't believe that this is due to my 
coding errors (I only allocate memory without freeing them in the code).  I 
hope someone can point out to situations where this problem might occur so 
that I can check them out.  For now all I know is that my code allocates 
memory when it runs and those memory are not getting released even after 
the code has finished.

I will try to see if I can cook up some demo code.

[Luke Stagner]

I just tried my code again using the 0.5 release and the memory is still 
not releasing. I thought maybe it was caused by using HDF5 but even if i 
commented out that bit of the code it still doesn't free up the memory.

You say 0.5 in the title (when 0.5 wasn't out). Your later posts are after 
0.5 is out. Maybe it doesn't matter, I don't know, maybe the final version 
is identical (except for versioninfo function..), I just do not know that 
for a fact, so might as well upgrade just in case.
