[Gimp-developer] Gimp memory leak

Hi,

I previously reported a memory leak in Gimp 2.2.

I was told to install version 2.4 and the issue doesn't go away.

The problem is that I discovered something even worst and it does take 
place in both 2.2 and 2.4.

If one runs a Gimp-Perl script for a number of times, enough to use the 
whole physical memory, then the Gimp server crashes, it does not create 
the swap. That's it, no swap file is created.

I think there may be a configuration issue.

If a test script is needed I can provide it.

Thanks,
Andrei
