#34 tmp file "leak"? under XP

[Anonymous]

Odd PaintX associated behavior observed in the
Windows\temp path. A *.tmp file is created during the
use of PaintX. Not so surprising. Must be the work
of stdole, OLECreatePicture etc. The bad thing is
that fairly predictably, repeated use of a PaintX
object will cause this file to grow, but never shrink.
Only when the application is exited is the file
deleted. Wild guess: On each call to
PaintX.Loadpicture, new scratch memory for decoding to
a StdPicture is allocated and cached to disk, while the
previous disk cache not released. I haven't tried to
repeat this on other WinOs versions besides XP SP3.
Thanks.
