<P><FONT SIZE=2>I ran my application with PETSc and verified that memory consumption increased over time. I am not sure what is happening.<BR>
<BR>
Running my application with valgrind I get several leaks such as:<BR>
<BR>
==25943== 16 bytes in 1 blocks are indirectly lost in loss record 9 of 11<BR>
==25943== at 0x4024C1C: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:195)<BR>
==25943== by 0x4380C60: tsearch (tsearch.c:281)<BR>
==25943== by 0x4393D2D: __nss_lookup_function (nsswitch.c:342)<BR>
==25943== by 0x4831F25: ???<BR>
==25943== by 0x4832B5C: ???<BR>
==25943== by 0x434CCE4: getpwuid_r@@GLIBC_2.1.2 (getXXbyYY_r.c:253)<BR>
==25943== by 0x434C64E: getpwuid (getXXbyYY.c:117)<BR>
==25943== by 0x85DF39E: PetscGetUserName (fuser.c:68)<BR>
==25943== by 0x859E6D9: PetscErrorPrintfInitialize (errtrace.c:68)<BR>
==25943== by 0x85D0F78: PetscInitialize (pinit.c:521)<BR>
==25943== by 0x8050E37: main (main.c:516)<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
In main.c:516, I just have:<BR>
<BR>
PetscInitialize (&argc, &argv, (char *) 0, help);<BR>
<BR>
which I thing is the normal way of calling PetscInitialize.<BR>
