mem leak problem

[address@hidden]

Hey all,

iIm running regtests on a new version of a footnote patch and it's slowing down 
like craaazzy.  This has happened to me before, and the cause is always some 
sorta memory leak, but i always stumble upon them haphazardly and by luck.  Is 
there a profiling tool i can use to show memory leaks, especially on that can 
compare between two runs of a program (for example, one that's on current 
master and one that's with my patch)?

Cheers,
MS
