ECPG memory leak detected

Attached is a patch that fixes some memory leaks in ecpg. Maybe it will
help your situation.

[Charset iso-8859-1 unsupported, filtering to ASCII...]

Hi,

I observed a memory leak in one of my applications (grew about 20MB a
day) and pinned it down to be
ECPG related.

The path is:
ecpg_alloc
quote_postgres
ECPGexecute
ECPGdo

PostgreSQL Version 7.0 (about 24th November's CVS)
This leak was at least present for two months.

Christof

If you have a direct idea on how to fix it, drop me a mail otherwise
I'll (try to) fix it myself (about next week). It's not fatal, it's
simply annoying.

PS: Program used for this analysis: memprof (part of gnome) (Version
0.3.0)

My problem had been fixed two weeks ago. In private communication with
Michael.
He sent me a (short) patch. I tested it. It still works like a charm. It
has been committed to CVS already.

So you can safely mark this problem as solved.

PS: I never observed any additional leaks. So it seems I didn't hit this
part of the code.

Man, no one tells me anything anymore. :-)
