KK,

That is one of my pet peeve's. It takes a day or two (no big deal) to clean up
code so that it doesn't have memory leaks. A memory leak is a bug like any other
bug, it just happens to affect your overall system as opposed to the product
itself.

Do you happen to have any statistics on which chess programs, databases,
training tools, etc. have or do not have memory leaks?

It would be good for everyone to know this. Especially for those people running
chess programs in tournaments or across the net (e.g. I went looking into CB7
for something just before the tournament, forgot to reboot, and my program's
hash table wasn't as large because of it).

Happy Holidays,

KarinsDad
