PIL is heavily used in 24/7 production systems, often by people who knows a lot about how to run mission critical systems, so memory and resource leaks in PIL tends to be noticed. there has been one leak fix in 1.1.6, afaik: converting a grayscale image to a palette image would (sometimes?) leak a palette structure. but that's a couple of hundred bytes, not a couple of hundred megabytes... </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
