[PD-dev] pd external memory weirdness

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I'd say it's most likely your code.  I would be very surprised if  
libc is leaking memory.  There are thousands of eyes looking at that  
code, and many millions using it in many ways.  Pd code could have  
leaks, but mostly it is good.

Try posting your code.

.c
