Michael you only sent this to me so I'm replying to list so others (especially Jürgen) can see it -- right at the bottom.

Insure++ checks others a bit but I have it set to filter all X11 bugs and it does occasionally report something about an outside library but as that is outside our control I haven't reported to this list -- the libXpm FREE_BODY bug in XpmReadFile (or something like that) did get a mention because John experienced problems getting njamd to report anything after that bug appeared. Mostly Insure++ seems good for finding memory leaks. But it is excellent for finding where you freed some memory that you later used. However it is incredibly slow for just doing that. The source instrumentation it uses found one thing to complain about in all the sources -- something you and Purify also found IIRC in mathed. Would I buy it? Hmmm... If the price was right. I can't get njamd working to any useful extent so that leaves something else. Might try LeakTracer again and see what it does. > Juergen (V), as you will leave us for quite a long time, are there any > bugs that you would like to fix but for which you need more precise > information?
