> Hi,
>    I installed the new GNAT GPL 2012 on a Win XP 32-bit machine and a cou=
ple of times the GPS editor just crashed without warning. Task manager show=
ed that the GPS application is just swallowing memory continuously even whe=
n I am not doing anything. Of course, a point is then reached when GPS appl=
ication just crashes.

I am using WinXP Family edition 32bits with SP3 on single core Celeron.
I installed GNAT GPL 2012 but I noticed i must also change manually the env=
ironment variable PATH to use the updated gcc (I have GNAT GPL 2011 install=
ed). Otherwise GPS 2012 use the binaries from the 2011 distro.

Target: i686-pc-mingw32
Thread model: win32
gcc version 4.5.4 20120510 for GNAT GPL 2012 (20120509) (GCC)=20

Task manager indicates 64 Megabytes of memory used by gps.exe with only 1 t=
hread.
I can compile and run several demos with or without tasking and no crash or=
 leaks.
I also noticed of 4 Kbyte increment of memory every second even when I do n=
othing.
I think the leak could come from the GTK library. A leak in GTK has already=
 been
reported on this forum.
