I don't think it ever is, so clicking back and forward across the setup.ini parse (occurs just before the package list shows up) should result in continual memory use increases. > other thing I cannot see to be free-ed is the char pointers > from the "Info" structure which is part of the "Package" structure. IIRC these are static pointers into the inmemory Inifile. I could easily be wrong though. > Perhaps there are more...

I haven't committed this leak - no changelog.
