Hi,

thanks for your report.

Would you please elaborate a bit on reproducing this problem? Which kind
of objects are you using mainly? How can I provoke a memory fillup? (I
could only fill up a few MBs without being sure if it's leaked memory.)

e.g.:

  $ valgrind dia

after some UML drawing and moving around shows:

==7333== LEAK SUMMARY:
==7333==    definitely lost: 9,387 bytes in 136 blocks.
==7333==      possibly lost: 216,728 bytes in 263 blocks.
==7333==    still reachable: 22,362,517 bytes in 57,535 blocks.
==7333==         suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.

-> No real fillup, although some possible leaks.

Thanks,

Roland
