[ROOT] Do I have a memory leak?

Hi Everybody,

I was running a macro that I've run before, so I know it should work, and
suddenly, after it read my file, I got the error...

Error in <TBuffer::ReadObject>: object tag too large, I/O buffer corrupted
Fatal in <operator new>: storage exhausted
aborting

I then tried running it on an entirely differnet computer that I don't use
much, and things worked OK.

Is this a memory leak problem? I'm not really used to C++ so, until a
while ago I didn't know anything about memory leaks. However, I heard that
root has automatic destructors that, when you quit root, whil delete all
the pointers and things so memory leak is not too much of a problem. Is
this correct or not? 

If I do have a memory leak, what can I do to sort it out?


Thanks, Claire
