The program bellow can be used to see the memory leak,
after the first loop the memory comsumption remain the same,
but after the second it raises to more than 20MB.

Linux XUbuntu 7.04 and Euphoria 3.1

--------

include machine.e
include get.e

integer  N
atom x, y, z
object Void

constant RAND_MAX = 1073741823

N = 100000

puts (1, "starting multiply...\n")           
Void = wait_key ()

for i = 0 to N -1 do
        x  = 50.0 * 5
        y  = 50.0 * 9
        z  = 50.0 * 976
end for

puts (1, "No memory leak till now !!!\nstarting division...\n")           
Void = wait_key ()

for i = 0 to N -1 do
        x  = 50.0 - (100.0*rand(RAND_MAX)/(RAND_MAX+1.0))
        y  = 50.0 - (100.0*rand(RAND_MAX)/(RAND_MAX+1.0))
        z  = 50.0 - (100.0*rand(RAND_MAX)/(RAND_MAX+1.0))
end for

puts (1, "Look at the memory leak now !!!!\nfinished...\n")
Void = wait_key ()
