A number of files in the libs directory, in FvwmPager and FvwmScript are using the alloca() function to allocate temporary memory. With the drop-in version of alloca() that autoconf provides, you have to regularly call alloca(0) to collect the garbage from previous alloca() calls and free the memory. In other words: on a platform without a good alloca() implementation (according to the autoconf man page any platform without gcc except AIX) most modules leak memory like hell if the wrong features are used. We have alloca() without alloca(0) in:
libs/Bindings.c libs/FBidi.c libs/Graphics.c libs/Module.c libs/PictureImageLoader.c modules/FvwmPager/x_pager.c modules/FvwmScript/script.c I suggest we refrain from using alloca() in the library to prevent module memory leaking. FvwmPager and FvwmScript have to be fixed in any case.
