Re: memory leak in 1.2.11

[Urban Lindberg <urban.lindberg@systech.se>]

Yepp, 4.1.? that's it, nice to know that threads now work better. I also
encountered that it didn't die when it was supposed to, but we got around that
by making a search just after the kill, and then it died correctly.

Well, I just have to make soma time avaliable for an upgrade ...

Cheers

Urban
