Re: reproducible cygwin memory problems: SOLVED?

[emacs user]

please ignore my previous report, I didn't do the testing correctly (I
ran configure after making the changes to config.h).  repeated now:

when undefining rel_alloc, memory increases from 14 to 21Mb due to image
editing, but does not keep increasing after that due to further image
editing.  seems to stay at 21 even if I edit and kill the image buffers many 
times.

When undefining also gnu_malloc, same result, expect that the initial
increase is to about 25Mb.

also, undefining these variables has the effect of emacs using less
memory when editing the images. when both are defined, it uses some
38Mb to edit the large image for the first time.  when one or both are
not defined, it only needs some 25-30Mb depending on the case (except
only briefly, initially, when just starting to edit the images).  and
again, with both variables defined, memory usage keeps increasing with
further edits/ kills of image buffers, while it does not otherwise.

so overall it seems that your first solution, of undefining rel_alloc
works almost perfectly.  I'll keep using this now and let you know if
I find anything else in regular usage (especially LaTeX preview mode
which seemed to suffer most from this problem).
