I have been banished to Mainz.  When I get home, I will try valigrind.
I have also been trying to get the source to run through splint... 

Anyways, Gtkg was running for several days until my computer reset
yesterday at about 1300GMT.  I believe this instance was running for
over a week.  Instead of running the Mandrake 10 KDE, I ran under TWM.
It does appear that my problem could be related to resource depletion.
That would be the only way to explain the extra longevity.  Under KDE
and TWM, I was running as a leaf node.

I was also compiling with "Gprof" instrumentation.  This seems to
cause many calls to "time(0)" under some circumstances.  I noted the
dialogs not repainting, in a previous post.  This was due to this
effect; I don't know if this is many un-necessary function calls in
Gtkg or if it is a gprof problem...  I did confirm that a lot of
Gtkg's time is spent in the SHA routine.

I still have many corrupted stack traces that usually end with
"mallopt()".  I do believe that there was some memory problem
previously.  I have not compiled/updated since Mar 19th.

Sorry, I can not be of more help.

Bill Pringlemeir.
