[Newbie] Server Garbage Collection:- Post Client

[Mr C.A.Beazley <cbeazley hgmp mrc ac uk>]

Please be patient with me, CORBA is turning out to be a steep learning curve 
for me. 

I have got my basic server to return a large sequence of strings and I have 
set the _release to TRUE which has stopped the runaway memory 
leakage(Thankyou Michael for that advice) .  

I think this is what is happening:-

This runaway leakage was occuring because every time a new sequence was 
required, "fresh" memory for the new sequence was allocated by the server 
without reusing the "original" memory allocated the first time around. This 
meant that the memory leakage went critical very quickly.

By setting the release to TRUE the server now reuses the "original" memory.
However the memory allocated for the sequence doesn't appear to be actually 
released, resulting in a slow memory creep as bigger sequences are returned 
by the server.

So, how do I get the server to completely release this memory, once the 
client has finished with it? (I'm happy to use a client called method to tell 
the server that the client is now finished)
