1. Euphoria 4 memory leak

I have Vista Home Basic 32 bit operating system. Downloaded and installed Euphoria 4. First, since my system does not support full-screen DOS mode, no DOS sample program would execute. All failed. Windows samples ran, but only after I wrote a dummy callback.e file. After executing a few, the computer slowed to a crawl and I rebooted.

Downloaded and installed win32lib and Judith's companion IDE and installed them. These are excellent packages. However, they failed to correctly execute under EU 4. When trying to use the IDE, I waited 5 minutes then brought up the MS Windows task manager because the IDE was not working. The task manager showed that EU 4 was executing as a process instead of a task and it was grabbing increasing amounts of memory and machine cycles. I waited a while as it chewed up all of RAM and proceeded to take up space on Windows swap file. The computer slowed to a crawl. I terminated the process and rebooted.

I believe this behavior may be a significant memory leak that needs addressing before EU 4 is ready for beta.

Yes, there was a memory leak in the implementation of replace(). This was fixed after the release of alpha 3. Here is a link to the bug on sourceforge:
