load-image memory leak

[Simon Sweetman]

Has anyone else noticed that 9.1C21 has a memory leak on load-image every time I call load-image or run a dialog that has images on in my windows application uses more memory.

The problem dosn't exist in 9.1C without any patches I suspect the 20010712-009 fix done in 9.1C20:

Some JPEG format is not valid when loading it in IMAGE widget. It causes prowin32.exe to GPF.

We have a dialog with an animated image that is now chewing 1Mb of RAM per second!

Have you tried opening your JPEG file (in PaintShoPro or any picture editor) and SAVE IT with differents parameters (Progressive Encoding / Normal Encoding...) ?

The image format dosn't seem to make a difference our images were in BMP format.

The word from progress is that the bug WAS introduced in patch 20 and they are recommending upgrading to 9.1D01 where the problem has been fixed.

We have managed to dig up patch 19 and are currently alpha testing it with our product.
