Re: Memory leak of TCanvas->SaveAs in a daemon process

Hello Valeriy,

I compiled ROOT 5.17.02 with the modified "draw.c" but it does not solve this problem. I would like to stress that memory leaks happen only when I call the program using /sbin/service command. If I run the program from a terminal command line, it keeps running properly.

Did you run the daemon on SLC4? If so I will replace my SL4.4 PC to SLC4. $ uname -a
