Re: memory leaking on POST

A while back, I wrote to the list about this also.  Joe and some others 
sent me some example code that didn't leak buckets.  At the time, I 
thought I the clean code was still leaking a bit, however, months later, 
with no processes having serious troubles, I now suspect that my own 
individual case was just transient buffers in memory just not being 
cleaned up at a moment in time I was watching.  If you would like me to 
re-post the example code that has been working for me (even though it 
still does produce what looks like transient growth spurts), I'd be 
happy to.
