Exactly what version of 3.4 were you running? What version of Tcl were you using with 3.4.x, and what version of Tcl are you using with 4.0.9? > So, are there any known leaks in 4.0.x?

There's very little memory debugging support for Tcl or AOLserver that I'm aware of. Your options are commercial memory leak analysis tools (Purify, etc.) or free tools (Valgrind, etc.) -- Tcl and AOLserver's ability to introspect into "what's using memory, and how" at runtime isn't really there. Is your server /only/ serving CGI, or are you serving other requests (ADP, static files, etc.) with it, as well? Are you using a bare-bones sample-config.tcl or is your config. heavily modified? -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
