memory leak

[ghost]

after running for a few days, memory has slowly climbed from just under 10MB to now 30MB. the rate of leakage appears to be very similar to that of iconping [1], so not sure if it's a similar bug in the app, or they both trigger the same bug in the OS.

My copy has been running for days (it's up to over 41,000 in ping identifiers, so about 3 days?) and is still at about 10 MB memory usage.

What version of OS X are you on?

[ghost]

OS X 10.9.2.

I let it it grow to 50MB before finally quitting it.

i repeated the experiment and recorded the process size immediately after launch and 3 days later. it doesn't leak as bad as iconping. (process size is the 6th column in the output).
