ok ok, we heard you :P
I'm in exams so can't look much into that, but try to find one of my old
emails where I gave some hints on how to find a memleak with tcl (info
procs, info globals, namespace names, info vars $::each_namespace::*, loop
through them, output to file the length of each variable, or lenght of
[array get], and then, looking at the outputed file, we could see which
var takes the most space... (hence, the memleak).. we have two choices..
1 - it comes from tcl vars/procs, in that case, that code of mine would
help (problem is to find it.. hope SF search engine is good enough)
2 - it comes from TkCximage, in which case a good study of the proc should
be done
3 - we know it's from the cmsn_draw_online + ShowUser, so a study of those
procs might reveal something
I can't do it unfortunatly...
LZ, r u using dps_in_cl ? if you disable them, is the memleak still there
? make sure of that, it will shorten the scope of the research!
