Subject: CM8000 Memory Leak

Author: Elizabeth Schwartz

I don't know if this was the case before the patch, but the patched version
has a memory leak. I've been systematically working through the beginner
tutorials (I'm up to the defense section) and switching to playing games -
playing in the tournament room and analyzing them in the game room. Each time I
switch into a room, memory goes up; each time I leave a room, memory drops but
not all the way back. Each page of the tutorial seems to use 60k or so.

I'm running Windows NT on a laptop with 256M ram. When I boot up, Windows uses
about 64M. Eudora uses a steady 11-13M and Netscape has 10-12M with multiple
windows open. RIght now after half an hour Chessmaster is using 30M and rising.
It gets to the point where I get a message that I am running out of resources
and should close some windows (I've NEVER seen that on Windows NT before) and
Chessmaster is using over 100M.
