Re: Memory leaks

I posted this the last time this subject came up (twice last year, I
think), but I made this valgrind suppression file for my project:

 http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/development/nip2.supp

With this, I get no reported leaks in my huge (200,000 lines of C)
application on Ubuntu with current gtk+. There are some comments in
the file explaining what the various bits do. No doubt I've made some
errors :-( but perhaps it might be useful.
