[PD] [GEM] - bug loading pictures with pix_image for a long time ?

[B. Bogart]

This is a known memory leak in loading many files (image?) over time.

Did anyone narrow it down? I saw it first 2 years ago...

If your using OSX you can use pix_film in place of pix_image.

Are you using CVS or 0.90?
