[mgp-users 01326] Memory leaks revisited...

[Jonathan Nicholson <jjn@sanger.ac.uk>]

I see from September last year that there was some discussion of memory 
leaks in magicpoint.

Did anyone get anywhere with tracking this down?

I'm going to be using magicpoint to run a display in our reception which 
wants to be constantly online. I've added a '-r' option (repeating demo) 
which cycles endlessly through the provided slides, the memory leak could 
get quite serious (I estimate about 70Mb/day)!

Running with valgrind seems to indicate the majority of the problem is 
with the font handling (xft in this case), unfortunately my C programming 
ability gives up at this point!

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,

Jonathan
