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. > > > On Wednesday, September 21, 2016 at 9:53:07 PM UTC+8, Páll Haraldsson wrote: >> >> On Sunday, September 18, 2016 at 12:53:19 PM UTC, K leo wrote: >>> >>> Any thoughts on what might be the culprit? >>> >>> | | |_| | | | (_| | | Version 0.5.0-rc4+0 (2016-09-09 01:43 UTC) >>> _/ |\__'_|_|_|\__'_| | Official http://julialang.org/ release >> >> >> You say 0.5 in the title (when 0.5 wasn't out).
