Hi!

Sorry, I don't know of any memory leaks with the MySQL code;  We test
all MySQL distributions with purify, so there shouldn't be any memory
leaks.

What happens ?

Can you somehow verify if its MySQL or MyODBC that gives you a
problem ?

If you are using mysqld (instead of mysqld-opt), you can verify how
much memory MySQL is using with:

mysqladmin ver

Is this increasing over time ?
