All I know is that if I were to write something like this (a file/ image data exporter) then once I'd got it working past the the point where I could write an image file in all the different formats then I'd run a soak test on it and let it run for *loads* of (like 10,000 +) of iterations and I would have checked that memory was being released. In fact I wrote an external command module that does something similar (it analyzes movie frames) and I *did* soak test it and I *did* find memory leaks.

For me, this is software engineering 101.

And it turns out that you did write an image exporter, and did run it through a soak test. Good job.

I'm glad you recognize that it's up to us to test the specific implementations we use Rev for. The combinatorial explosion of all possible uses would make it impossible for RunRev to do that.

RunRev can help by having Beta cycles whose length is more in keeping with industry norms, but the actual testing can't be done by them; there are just too many possibilities.

What was the final recipe for this error (I was unable to reproduce the last one), and what's the BZ #?
