If its just a memory leak you are looking for try this:

CALL DEBUGSTR(";HT")

myPointer& = FN NEWPTR _Clear(100 * 1024)

CALL DEBUGSTR(";HT")

IF myPointer& <> _nil THEN ignore% = FN DISPOSPTR(myPointer&)

CALL DEBUGSTR(";HT")


This demo show the Heap Totals (HT) before allocation, after allocation and after dispose.  You will see in the little table that the non-relocatable (pointer) block count goes up, then down again as expected.  You will need to put this call before and after the routine you believe is the trouble.
