allocate & free

Hi: I must not be using allocate() and/or free() correctly: Here's the code, which, if the --// comment is removed, will fill a list control: (that part works fine) for i = 1 to db_table_size() do data = db_record_data(i) len = length(data)+1 addresses = allocate(len*4) poke4(addresses,allocate_string(db_record_key(i))) for j = 1 to length(data) do if atom(data[j]) then data[j] = sprintf("%g",data[j]) -- change numeric fields to text end if poke4(addresses+j*4,allocate_string(data[j])) end for --// ok = gtk_clist_append(list,addresses) free(addresses) end for Problem is, each time this is run, extra memory is used, corresponding to the length of the data loaded. Eventually, I would run out of menory. It does the same whether or not the call to gtk_list_append() is made, so that's not the problem. That leaves free(). Am I not using it correctly? Thanks for any help, Irv
