I've started playing a little with Postgres to determine if there were
memory leaks running around. After some very brief checking, I'm

through a significant effort to locate and eradicate memory leaks? Is
this done periodically? If so, what tools are others using? I'm
currently using dmalloc for my curiosity.
[1] Not sure yet as I'm really wanting to find culumative leaks rather
than one shot allocations which are simply never freed prior to process
termination.
While all leaks should be fixed, obviously, this is one of the "good"
things in the parennial "Thread vs process" argument for processes.
