memory leaks in snmp++

[Frank Fock]

Hi Henning,

I have just tried to reproduce the problem -
with no luck. I have used Purify to locate
any memory leaks but found none.

Can you reproduce the leak with a simple
example? What kind of requests are you using
(GET, GETNEXT, etc.)? What SNMP version?

Thanks,
Frank
