Possible memory leak... by zeroxmxi on 06-28-2006 at 04:52 AM
Hi,
I have suspected a memory leak that might have been caused by the creation
of event toasts and each time it pops up, I observed through the Windows Task
Manager that the memory consumption just keeps going up. As soon as the
memory usage hits around 100MB or so, it gets paged away resulting a huge chunk
of virtual memory used. Seems like these memory leaks are garbaged collected
or something. I assume Messenger Plus! Live and Windows Live Messenger itself
are not managed code entities. But hell, the memory leakage is driving my
laptop and desktop nuts.
I have links to two screen captures, one of which is my event notification
settings I placed on Messenger Plus! Live and the other show the memory usage
so far.

Hi,
thanks for reporting this problem. Can you please follow up directly at mplus@patchou.com ? I tried to reproduce the leak but I didn't succeed. Did you try running without Messenger Plus! ? did you try disabling the notifications to see if the problem really comes from that?
I'll wait to hear from you,
Patchou
