Memory leak while creating indices?

Hi,

Sorry to bring bad news but it seems that the postgresql daemon is leaking
memory when building indices.
(When using electric fence it takes long enough to notice -:))

Anybody want to recommend a good freeware tool which helps to find memory
leaks?

Yea, as I reported earlier, it is probably all from the same place. I
used a pginterface C file do show it. I think we need Purify.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <halt.h>
#include <postgres.h>
#include <libpq-fe.h>
#include <pginterface.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char query[4000];

if (argc != 2)
halt("Usage: %s database\n",argv[0]);

connectdb(argv[1],NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);

while (1)
{
sprintf(query,"select * from test;");
doquery(query);
sprintf(query,"update test set x=3;");
doquery(query);
}
disconnectdb();
return 0;
}
