I saw the same problems. I think it stems from purify not understanding
shared memory. I turned all those warnings off, and was able to run, but
right now purify is a useless tool for memory leaks in performer apps
because of the above problem.

Subject: Performer purify tests

pfHi,

I have tried running memory tests with Purify on our performer
application.
Even running a simple application with very little data causes purify to
complain about thousands of memory problems - specially around pfWindow
and pfProcess.
Even running tests on the example in /usr/share/Performer.../simple
causes an enourmous amount of problems.

Are these things known?
Is Performer very unclean ( in Purify standards ) ?
Could it be that it is all our fault of bad usage ?
If so, does 'simple' abuse Performer as well ?

regards and thanx

:o)
