I have this leak, too in python2.3 under debian/sid: Python 2.3.5 (#2, Nov 20 2005, 16:40:39) [GCC 4.0.3 20051111 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-4)] on linux2 python2.4 seems to be unaffected. Python 2.4.2 (#2, Nov 20 2005, 17:04:48) [GCC 4.0.3 20051111 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-4)] on linux2 -- Benjamin Niemann Email: pink at odahoda dot de WWW: http://www.odahoda.de/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
