I do have valgrind installed on my development box but have not run it against my work in progress recently. I don't discount that I have memory leaks, but still, if rrd_create() is shuffling around things in argv, and not leaving them there "somewhere" for me to find after the rrd_create() call returns then the code I have to later free the argv cannot free them because the reference to them is kept in argv. That is why I'm asking if rrd_create() really should be messing with the argv it is passed. rick _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list rrd-users@lists.oetiker.ch https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
