Re: [bug-gawk] Memory leak

[Stephane Delsert]

Hi Andy,

That's great. I made a couple of test,  the memory used by gawk doesn't exceed 
a couple of Kb even for huge file and results are perfect. 
This bug was tricky and I'm impressed by your reactivity. 

Thanks so much for your help,

Best regards,

Stéphane.

If you apply the attached patch to pristine gawk-4.1.4 sources, does it fix 
your memory leak?

Thanks,
Andy
