    Hi,<br>
    <br>
    I ran the code and it hangs again. However, adding -malloc_test
    doesn't seem to do any thing. The output (attached) is the same w/o
    it.<br>
    <br>
    Wonder if there's anything else I can do.<br>

Yours sincerely,

                            I got the output. I have zipped it since
                            it's rather big. So it seems to be from DM

                        <div>Its really hard to tell by looking at it.
                          What I do is remove things until there is no
                          leak, then progressively</div>
                        <div>put thing back in until I have the culprit.

                Does it mean that it's simply allocating space ie
