I am working in a computer and testing in another. For the second part may be somehow I forgot to transfer the change to the other computer. Unlikely but possible. Anyway it is doing its job right now with bfsz=16KB (this takes a few hours). No memory leakages anymore. I'll address this problem in a near future, may be when I move to the new kubuntu 16.04 LTS. This will bring new SW releases and the problem may have been fixed. Thanks Paulo -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
