Re: memory issue: user error?

Hi James,

We have been fixing quite a few memory leaks in our work on the new version of NCL 6.0.0, which will be released as a beta version in January. But if you can bundle up enough of your code and data to demonstrate the problem, we would like to see if the memory leak you have encountered is something we have fixed, and if not we will hopefully be able to fix it before the beta release.

If you have not sent us anything before, here are the instructions:
Ideally put everything into a tar file in a way that we could just run the code without modifications.
Then
ftp ftp.cgd.ucar.edu
login as anonymous
password is your email address
cd incoming
put <your file(s)

Offline, send me the name of the file(s) because listing the directory is not possible for security reasons.
Thanks.

I am deleting every variable except for two arrays which accumulate the precipitation. I do not think these two arrays (/6,881,1121/) in accumulating mode should be the root cause for a 25 MB increase in memory usage per file.
