Bug reference:      3385
Logged by:          Prasad

PostgreSQL version: Some
Operating system:   Windows 2003
Description:        Memory leak
Details:

When both postgre and our server application run on the same windows 2003
server, a memory leak of 1 MB per day in Non paged kernel memory is
observed.

But if we run them on seperate servers, no leak is noticed.

What could be the problem?

What process owns the leaked memory?
(See for example

for hints on how to track it down)
