I've found it starts leaking in 8Kb increments. I'm just dreading Moore's Law. If it applies to age and memory, then I'll be up to 16Kb next year and leaking Gigabytes much sooner than I'd like.

My fingers are crossed that Moore's Law doesn't apply to wetware - only hardware...

Been there, done that.

So are you implying that I'm ALREADY a fossil?

Just kidding!

P.S. I snipped your smileys because the forum is limiting me to 4 total, and yours also counted against the limit. I figured mine were more important since I already knew YOU were just joking around.
