Hi,

I wrote a C-function which I call with the .C-interface  ( something 
like .C("foo", x, y) ).
The function does a lot of things. 
Among<http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&p=_xpAA&search=things&trestr=0x8004>st 
other things it allocates much memory (stack and heap).
Every heap allocation (with malloc) has a corresponding free call.

My problem is, that if I call this function many times in a for-loop, 
the memory amount used by R
converges to 100% and the process is being killed at the end.

Clearing the workspace doesn't help, since the memory is not occupied by 
R-objects.

Is it a known problem with the .C interface? How can I found out what 
kind of data fills the memory and especially how can I clean it?

I work on Linux (OpenSuse 12.1)

Thanks

Grigory Alexandrovich
