Thanks to all who responded re the memory leak, There were two aspects that I have been able to track down: a) some major leaking in DB that was my fault, and fixed in 1A3; b) some leaking whenever images based on PDFs are drawn, apparently a bug in AppKit (i.e. apple's fault) that's been around for awhile. -b -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
