   It's your malloc, not UNIX.  I have an application that runs on SunOS 4.1.x
   and it sometimes grows to 60 or 70MB when the user does certain operations,
   and then shrinks to two or three megabytes when the operations complete
   and resources are freed.

   However, from what I can tell, there is a 20 byte leak every time you
   xv_create something.  It looks like xv_destroy doesn't free that twenty
   bytes.  Purify tells me it's in generic_init, which I guess is the init
   function for the base XView class.



yep, i believe this was fixed in 3.0.1 (aka Solaris 2.0).
