possible memory leak on nick (and other?) menus - 31/07/03 09:51 PM
for over a month i have been trying to find the reason my new script locked up the entire windows menu system at apparent random time periods.
checking memory usage for mirc i noticed that every time i used the nick menu the memory use went up, and didnt drop.
running a clean install of mIRC6.03 I used the nick menu and had the following stats for memory usage :-
7,768k, 7808k, 7824k, 7840k, 7880k, 7888k, 7892k, 7900k, 7924k, 7928k, 7932k, 7952k, 8024k
another run produced :-
10,048k, 10,076k, 10,108k, 10,112k, 10,116k, 10,120k......11,068k still climbing
while not a huge climb the trend is to use more and more ram without releasing it.
could this be what is causing a total lockup of mirc menus and the entire xp menu system, up to task manager being unavailable, closing mIRC resolves the problem and the pc functions normally untill mIRC is used again.
any ideas/help on this one would be appreciated, its been driving me
