Fat memory leaks

[<mi...@st...>]

HI!

I remember that someone reported memory leaks quite a while ago 
and there was no further action. Running some test scripts I can 
observe that the python-ldap using process grows quite fast.

Does anybody have the time to look into this? If yes, please dig 
into Modules/LDAPObject.c, functions l_ldap_result() and 
l_ldap_search().

Ciao, Michael.

I tried to find leaks, but did not succeed (I used valgrind for this 
task, which should at least find malloc/free leaks. I don't know if 
wrong reference counts in the python-C API will also be detected).

Could you please post a sample program that does leak for you? Maybe I 
will find some time to dig into this problem.
