Hi Tom,
actually i'm working with a memory tracking system to find all
such cases where memory isn't freed. I'm doing this because
I want to get an official certification for PostgreSQL on NetWare
and I want to get a certification from HP on their UNIX.
Both told me that I couldn't get a certification as long as there
is unreleased memory.
I've seen some other places where memory isn't released but it's
not very often. Some calloc's and some strdup's. I hope it is OK
if I send thos patches.
Additional Novell will certify PostgreSQL for free if we get such
leakages solved. If HP will have some money for
certification I will pay this money.

Oh, I take that back --- I misread where you'd put the free()s.
Hmm, so the point is to reclaim memory during a shmem reinit cycle?
Might be worth doing, but I fear this is unlikely to be the only such
leakage ...
regards, tom lane
