I tried to help out with valgrind as you suggested - but within 10 mins it took 1.5Gb of RAM on my workstation (I wasn't going to put it up on production now was I? :-) and - well - I turned it off. I really don't have the equipment to handle running 1.5Gb debugging processes... > Until one of the people complaining produces a useful report, nothing > can be done.

I hope someone else can help out - there is a problem that needs solving there. -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
