[comp.sys.amiga] Matt Dillon Shell V4.01A -- Big memory leak

andrewt@watnow.waterloo.edu (Andrew Thomas) (04/08/90)

I am using a csh style shell which says this to the version command:
Shell V4.01A
@1986 Matthew Dillon
Manx (M) versions by Steve Drew
ARP (A) versions by Carlo Borreo & Cesare Dieni

I am getting a big memory loss every time I use the rback (run)
command.  Once the command exits, there are about 50Kb of memory not
returned to the system.  Running the same command in immediate mode
does not lose any space at all.

Has anybody else bumped into this?  Is it a problem with the shell, or
is it a problem with the ARP library that I am using?  If it's the ARP
library, is there a later version (how do I find out my version?)
which does not have this problem?

Mail responses would be preferred.

Thanks in advance,
