A few days ago I posted a request for help regarding a problem I was 
experiencing using the Alsys 386 compiler.  Upon further investigation, I 
discovered that the application was eating up the heap.  As time went on, 
more and more memory was being allocated but not deallocated.  This created 
an incredibly long linked list of allocated memory blocks.  The application 
slowed down simply because it took an incredibly amount of time to traverse 
the linked list looking for an open memory block.  If the application ran 
long enough, say overnight, it ran out of memory and died.  I rewrote the 
small portion of code that was performing dynamic memory allocation to avoid 
any memory allocation.  That fixed my problem.  Anyway, I'd like to thank 
everyone who provided me with input.  It was of great help in solving this 
problem.
