Has anyone noticed a memory leak while using revbrowser?
I was working with revBrowser and two browser windows and I noticed
after quiting that my processes on my mac still included Revolution
at 46% usage of my cpu after I quit. I had to force quit the process
even though the app
stacks with DIFfersifier.

Thomas,
It sounds like Rev isn't quitting correctly. Sometimes this can happen when
threads are open. If you're on a Mac, search the archives for information on
quitting Rev using Applescript. I seem to think something was posted about
this a few months ago.
I've used the following quitMe
Chipp,
Thanks for the script. I will implement it.
After a few visits to the Apple store it seems I might have a bad
memory chip and or logic board. They have ordered both. For now I
removed the second 2 GB chip and things are back up and running. We
know at least one of the chips is bad.
What's the most reliable way to see if I have a memory leak in a Rev
app running under OS X?
Thanks.

Hi,

As there has been talk of 'thorough testing' and in light of the recent
posts trying to steer this thread into a different direction I thought I'd
share my own recent tests. Not really Rev related, but as I'm sure everyone
here does regular and thorough backups this may be of interest to one or
that to start with. In fact the
memory leak would be visible straight away, all you have to do is run
once it and look at the memory allocations.
And because Rev supports multiple operating systems, each with
differing APIs and idiosyncrasies, each of those two tests would
need to be run on all

Not necessarily. For instance others have reported it happening at less.

That memory fluctuates while a program is running is normal

Hi,
This is the kind of thing I was experiencing. I think there may be
two related problems, although one may cause the other. When I tested
it, it would run up to file 288 and not write file 289. I then
started it at file 289 and it would go wrong on the first file.
e.g. change your loop

Yeah, I'm with Stephen about your *attitude*.
But, here's what I would suggest you trying:
Insert a wait 1 second with messages into your loop.
See if you're just not giving Rev enough time to garbage collect.
If it stops leaking, then you can adjust the time to wait. Don't forget the
