hi again,

i have encountered a memory leak in vmd, one that i find pretty
severe. i am using a cvs version of vmd from 2008-11-21, i can provide
details of my setup if it's relevant.

as i have mentioned before, i am interested in getting rid of
volumetric data "on the fly", as it won't fit into memory. it was
recommended before that i use separate molecules, as volumetric data
can't be removed from molecules. i have done just that, the only
problem - the molecules do get removed, but the memory is not released
until i quit vmd. i would like to ask for a fix of this, as it makes
my intended use impossible. on a more general level, i consider it a
clear memory leak and would report it even if it was not an issue for
me at the moment.

thanks for considering it,

regards,
