Hi,

I'm not used to purify, but I had a similar problem and I solved it
using valgrind.

My command looks like this :
valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes -v
executable_name

or the same plus : --log-socket=127.0.0.1:12345
if you want to use valgrind-listener

Hope it will help, xavier
