It's really quite a good tool! you should probably update to 1.2.3 before you waste time debugging 1.2.2. > For more information about it, see: > http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/ yes, it's kinda cool. It didn't like the MMX check in gimp-1.3 and mumbled something like "Insane instruction". It works fine however with the latest gimp from CVS when passing --no-mmx on the gimp-1.3 command-line. I'm not sure if I prefer it over memprof but it's definitely helpful. We are getting a decent amount of warnings about "Use of uninitialised CPU condition code" most prominently in pixel_region and temp_buf code. I'm not certain if we can trust valgrind here, but it would definitely be a good idea to investigate this to make sure. Salut, Sven
