Leak Fixed in Drawing Code

PROBLEM

Goldenseal was gradually leaking small amounts of memory whenever it drew something on the screen.

Caught By

Internal testing.

Workaround

None. The leaks will eventually cause Goldenseal to run out of memory and quit. Just restart Goldenseal when that happens.

Solution

Fixed in Goldenseal version 3.2.

Technical Details

We wrote some new developer menu commands that track leaks that are not displayed in DebugNew, and with their help, finally caught this one.

We'll be using them to ferret out any other program leaks over the next few months, but this was probably the biggest one.
