releasing them,
especially in loops or processes that run either continuously or frequently
or for a long time.

> I have a application running on XP Pro system that accesses network tables
and performs different scheduled task. On somewhat frequent occasions the
application will "crash". What I've noticed is the desktop screen beneath
my application is "fuzzy and not all painted in." Today I started up the
application (v2.01) and watched my Windows Task Manager. What I noticed was
the PF Usage under the Performance tab steadily increase in size starting at
142MB and now up to 211MB. In the processes tab the Image Name column has
the PLUSrun.exe growing in size also with other entries stable in size. The
image is now up to 57K.

Any tools I could use to help identify and resolve this "memory leak?"
