I just ran a quick test, by changing the timeout time here: # set $t_memory_check 20*60; set $t_memory_check 5; I also changed this to speak: speak "Memory leak test finished"; It tested > Some comments in the code made me think that the code used will > only work for Win NT.

Cpan says Devel::Peak is 'A data debugging tool for the XS programmer', so that doesn't sound to useful here. Try the quick memory test. If it doesn't cycle through all your files, send me your log (directly) and we can debug. If it does work, you may need to increase the time to see give the memory leak enough time to not show up when we disable the problem code. Another thing to try is running the test code, to rule out any user code as the problem. Simply unset mh_parms env. var, so you pick up only the default bin/mh.ini parms file. Bruce |
