[rdesktop-devel] memory leakage and patch for cmdline argument for rdp compression

[<ric...@ne...>]

Hi,

I have added a (very) small patch that enables RDP compression as it is
currently implemented. I have used the (de)compression code, which is now 
implemented nicely in mppc_expand, for a while and on w2k it works great! 

Note that there is a known issue with the decompression of bitmaps when the rdp connection is allowed to use more than 256 colors.

Interesting though is a potential memory leak in the code. I discovered 
that PC's with barely enough memory crashed using rdesktop after a while. Using memprof I found that the memory allocated by the call ui_create_glyph is not freed. It looks like the call is not directly executed by rdesktop but I haven't discovered where the leak really is. 
Because ui_create_glyph typically allocates 32 bytes per call, the leak is 
hardly noticable on systems with more than 10MB of free ram....
Anyone an idea?

Kind regards,
Richard
