Memory leak?

[Bil Kleb]

Hi,

Does anyone see anything here,

for case_number in 1..NUMBER_OF_CASES
case_dir = File.join( 'Cases', 'Case' ) + case_number.to_s.rjust(5,"0")
mkdir_p case_dir
ln_sf LINK_FILES, case_dir unless LINK_FILES.empty?
cp COPY_FILES, case_dir unless COPY_FILES.empty?
cd case_dir do
fuzzy_contents.each do |original_name, fuzzy_content|
File.open(original_name,'w'){ |f| f.puts fuzzy_content.sample }
end
end
$stdout.print '.'; $stdout.flush
end

that should cause a steady growth in memory?

It works fine for 5,000 cases; but by about 10,000 cases,
the process exceeds 2GB!

Thanks,

Doh! Nevermind, fuzzy_content.sample contains an array push:

(@fields[tag] ||= []) << sample

I guess it is time to look at persisting to the file system
instead of storing everything in memory...
