I'm not really familiar with bcheck, but I do know
searching for memory leakage in IDL can be a bit of
a trick. Most of the time we resort to judiciously
placed HELP calls with the MEMORY and/or HEAP
keywords set.
Although I've always found the most effective way
of finding not only memory leakage errors, but *any*
programming errors, is to publish your program on
your web page. You will get a full report in about
3 seconds and you won't even have to go cross-eyed
looking through all your code. :-)
Cheers,
David
