Re: Significant memory leak with version 5.x (not with 4.17)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Alex,

We are fine with version 4.17 as of now. I can try out the fix sometime next week if you need further data. Is there a build with the fix, or do you have some recommended steps to manually pull the source, patch the fix and then recompile?

HTH,
