Oh the pressure :)...Anyways, PSQL has a huge leak (90% reported by
Purify, whatever that means :) ) in reading in external sql files (through
- -f option)...this might be contributing to recent reports of memory leaks
during regression tests (aside from the backend which is another issue)...
I am working on it right now, but I don't think PSQL issue is important
enough to delay the release....if everything checks out allright by Friday
then we should release it...Then starting with 6.2 make sure we eliminate
as many memory problems as possible....
Oh well, just a thought....
BTW...I will be out of town next week, then when I come back it's Jury
duty...so I'll try to finish psql/libpq by this week anyway....
