I've checked the simple example with 1.0.2. Although memory growing
seems not to be as rapid as before, both sides still comsume more and
more memory. The server starts with 2.4MB (top), reaching more than
10MB after some minutes (client running).

If this problem doesn't occur on your system, what's the trick?
I'm using gcc 2.95.2, ffcall-1.8a, make-1.0.1, objc-1.0.1,
base-1.0.2 compiled with
    LIBS=-posix; ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/GNUstep
    make shared=yes debug=no install

Thank you very mouch
