Hi,

I have run into a quandry while using allegro's dialog procedures. I have
noticed that
a function that I had that called do_dialog seems to be leaking memory
(exatly 8k 8192 bytes.) Since this function also creates and clears a linked
list, I first suspected that I was leaving a node allocated, but this proved
not to be the case - I traced the memory leak to the do_dialog.... Anybody
else encounter this? Recursive calls to do_dialog (the dialog tested only
contains the d_keyboard_proc dialog function) starts eating up memory until
the system is constantly paging to disk.

I detected the leak by using go_32_remaining_physical_memory before and
after the
call to the dialog procedure. It reports the 8k discrepancy.

Anybody ever encounter this problem with do_dialog? Am I doing something
wrong? How can it be fixed?

Fanx!
