Hi David,

I believe this to be fixed now, after over 1000 iterations the memory has stayed
constant, I fixed an issue yesterday that was causing a memory leak on the
combo box and this seems to have finally fixed it, this fix will be in the
next release you receive.

Hope this helps, and thanks for the good test.

 I think it is better, but it is not fixed.  Besides a number of
 single buffer leaks (at least some of which aren't true leaks
 because they are the result of a once function, to minimize memory
 allocation and speed things up), there are about 2 buffers
 leaked per iteration.  These leaks don't show up in Eiffel/C memory
 output.
 
 However, the stack trace where the leaked objects are allocated is now
 different.  It is:
 
          libumem.so.1`umem_cache_alloc+0x208
          libumem.so.1`umem_alloc+0x44
          libumem.so.1`malloc+0x2c
          libumem.so.1`calloc+0x58
          libglib-2.0.so.0.600.6`g_malloc0+0x2c
          libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.600.9`gtk_tree_view_init+0x10
          libgobject-2.0.so.0.600.6`g_type_create_instance+0x52c
          libgobject-2.0.so.0.600.6`g_object_constructor+0x10
          libgobject-2.0.so.0.600.6`g_object_newv+0x220
          libgobject-2.0.so.0.600.6`g_object_new_valist+0x320
          libgobject-2.0.so.0.600.6`g_object_new+0x68
          libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.600.9`gtk_combo_box_list_setup+0x104
          libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.600.9`gtk_combo_box_check_appearance+0xd4
          libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.600.9`gtk_combo_box_style_set+4
          libgobject-2.0.so.0.600.6`g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__OBJECT+0x88
 
 Hopefully, this will give you some clue.  Could be a GTK+ bug
 (I'm using GTK+2.6.9).
