Hi, I'm hoping one of the experts will have a suggestion on this: I'm trying to use the TestGeantDig program to make the .cdat to .root conversion in looking at some GBRAHMS results. There seems to be a bad memory leak associated with running this program, however, and this is preventing me from looking at some longer geant runs (I end up with an out-of-memory segfault). To check that the problem is not associated with one of my local source modifications, I just did a complete cvs checkout of brat onto a rcas machine and ran the TestGeantDig routine on a 500 event .cdat file with: TestGeantDig -g -f -b -m /brahms/data01/simu/gbrahms_output/sim_562 Using Top to monitor memory usage, I started out with 212,048K free. After the program exited, I was down to less than 100,000K free. (Will a reboot now be required to make this memory available again?) I've started to look for the problem and think I've traced things to BrGeantInput, but I may be fooling myself. Since I need the geant simulation results, I'll continue to look at this. I'm hoping, however, that someone might be aware of the problem and know of a workaround or, possibly, be able to suggest a likely area of the program where I should be looking for the leak. ...steve
