Re: [ECS] BETA (MEMORY LEAK FOUND) Mark Gilmore Mon, 28 Feb 2000 08:57:05 -0500

After adding some code to track memory allocations, I determined
that there WAS a memory leak (ECS was allocating memory that it
failed to subsequently free). It then took me a full day to track
the bugger down: It occurred when ECS played any file thru the
voice modem (PHONE-INTERFACE-C). This has been corrected in the
new beta, which I am now uploading (give it 15 minutes).
