By the way, if anyone has some free time and a reasonably modern
computer, running Pan with Valgrind is something that you can do
to help Pan with no programming required.

Run Pan this way:

        valgrind --num-callers=32 --logfile-fd=9 ­leak-check=yes 
--leak-resolution=high pan 9>logfile.txt

and then mail logfile.txt on to address@hidden
