New submission from Thorsten Simons:
hashlib seems to leak memory when used on a Linux box (whereas the same works
fine when run under Windows 7) (tested w/ Python 3.2.1 and 3.2.3)
<snip file "mem.py">
import hashlib
#file = 'B:\\video\\TEST\\01_file_10G'
file = '/video/TEST/01_file_10G'
myhash = hashlib.sha256()
with open(file, "rb") as f:
for buffer in f:
myhash.update(buffer)
print('hash =', myhash.hexdigest())
<snip>
On Windows, 'python3 mem.py' occupies roundabout 7 MB memory,
on Linux (OpenSuse 12.2), it quickly acquires all available memory, then all
swap, than get's killed.
