Re: Regarding loops and memory leak

For what it's worth, 

I tested (simply just by watching top output) the code below... and there
doesn't appear to be a memory leak.  I used the latest CVS code and rebuilt
the lib .a files too.


[ben@xaos:~/cvs/remote/gateway]$ gcc -D_REENTRANT=1 -I. -Igw  -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600 -D_BSD_SOURCE -DBROKEN_PTHREADS=1 -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/openssl -Wall -c  test_asdfsd.c
test_asdfsd.c: In function `main':
test_asdfsd.c:8: warning: unused variable `i'
