I ran purify yesterday on psql, and it found several memory leaks in
libpq. I fixed a couple of them and will post a patch in a couple of
hours. Unfortunately I only have a signle terminal window for now so I
can't work on the backend but libpq is significant too..BTW: There is a
bug right now in psql:
run psql.
do \m to turn on monitor style output.
select * from some table...You should see (NULL) instead of
the row separator....
I fixed it too and will send a patch for it together with memory leak
patch (they are actually related)...
