OK, I just did "valgrind --num-callers=32 --logfile-fd=9
--leak-check=yes --leak-resolution=high pan 9>logfile.txt", then I did a
"get new headers from all subscribed groups" and then quit. Valgrind
says it definitely lost 49 bytes in 5 blocks and possibly lost 800 bytes
in 20 blocks. Is this the sort of thing you're looking for or is that
just "in the noise".

I looked up the word 'paranoid' in the dictionary. It said 'what do you
want to know for?' Interestingly, I couldn't find the word 'camouflage'
anywhere...                             "MadDanEccles" on alt.fan.goons
