Hi freddy77, 



Ran valgrind and purify against ctlib_leak...no memory leaks found.  After 
further investigation, the allocated memory (via ctlib_leak) is going into 
the cache pool, so my memory leak must be elsewhere (not in the ctlib_leak 
source code).  I'll expand my search to the rest of my source code again. 



Thanks for the assistance and for pointing me to valgrind.  I've used purify, 
but hadn't used valgrind before. 



Cheers, 

mtbrown88

Could you try to install valgring and execute a 

valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes --show-reachable=yes 
--num-callers=20 ./ctlib_leak 

it should report leaks and where they happen. Is better to compile 
FreeTDS (at least) with debugging informations.
