Hi Carlo and Carne,

I hope all is well.

A few months ago, you helped me with the openmpi_ext toolbox. This
toolbox works like a charm. Unfortunately, I am facing a memory leak
issue with this toolbox. I noticed this leak on all the platforms I
have access to: Ubuntu (12.04, 12.10, and 13.04) and RedHat systems.
The leak persists for all the recent versions of openmpi (1.6.2,
1.6.4, 1.7.1).

Since my original code is too complicated for others to debug, I
created a sample code for testing. Basically, I modified the
speedtest.m file (written by Dr. Jeremy Kepner; MatlabMPI) to work in
conjunction with openmpi_ext. I then ran this code with valgrind:

valgrind --leak-check=yes -v --log-file=Valgrind.out mpirun -np 2
octave -q --eval speedtest &

The summary of valgrind is:
==24981==    definitely lost: 42,031 bytes in 28 blocks
==24981==    indirectly lost: 25,802 bytes in 76 blocks
==24981==      possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
==24981==    still reachable: 124,717 bytes in 603 blocks
==24981==         suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks

I would appreciate if you could help me out with identifying the
memory leak in openmpi_ext. I am attaching the speedtest.m file and
Valgrind.out file.

Best regards,
Sukanta
