Dear "rooters"! I wrote the Root browser 'SiliBrowser' for the CDF Silicon offline monitoring, that enables us to display all the histograms of the Silicon in an organized and friendly way. It was fine as long as the Silicon histograms had few statistics, but we have experienced big memory problems with this program since the statistics has become more important. There is apparently a memory leak that causes the ROOT browser to take more and more memory until it saturates (after only three screens of histograms have been displayed...), apparently because of a lack of memory. It is obvious by using the unix 'free' instruction that the Root browser takes almost all the RAM available, what makes it very very slow to display new screens of histograms. I'm not expert in memory leak problems at all, and have big difficulties to solve this problem. Could anybody with some experience ih this field help please? This is an important issue because it hinders the works of the CDF offline monitoring shift a lot. Thanks in advance for any help! Stephane
