or am i missing something obvious (it seems so, as i cannot reproduce the memleak you report with [pix_image] either).
well, obviously you are missing something. i hope someone can reproduce that with the attached patches. run top to see the memory beeing eaten by pd. at least on os x with GEM: ver: 0.91.3 'tigital' GEM: compiled: Feb 23 2009
this is exactly what i have been doing on linux (and Pd's memory consumption stayed at 1.7% for the first 15000 frames). so the problem is most likely os-x related. still it would be nice to have a bit more info; e.g. how long do i have to wait before the crash is likely to occur (this is obviously related to the amout of memory; but since i don't want to spend 3 days waiting because only a few bytes are leaking rather than the entire image, it would be nice to know the number (and size) of frames you are using on your machine equipped with how many kilobytes of ram)
