Re: memory leak in octave 2.1.33

[Paul Thomas]

David,

I would strongly urge you to update to a much more recent version of 
octave for two reasons: (i) I do not think that you will get much 
support, even for 2.1.33; and (ii) I found no obvious leaks with 2.1.56, 
although I was checking on a rather coarse scale.

Well, if it is pretty simple, perhaps it would be a good idea to let us 
see it.

What makes you think that you have a memory leak, if you are not 
monitoring the allocation in some way?

That would be a good idea.  However, load up a more recent octave first 
and see if you still have the problem.
