Strange behavior of "-with-rtsopts=-T

[Vlatko Basic]

Hi Ömer,

It doesn't require Postgres, I just haven't cleaned up the dependencies. My bad. :-(

I pushed the cleaned version.


However, noticed strange thing during testing of the cleaned package. There is 
no leak any more. And the problem is that I can't reproduce it, not even with 
previous commits.

Without "-T", it does use double+ the memory (12-14 MB) than with "-T" (<5 MB), 
which is strange, but the memory doesn't grow any more.

Will do more testing in the next few days. The only thing I can think of now is 
that I updated something in the environment.


So, unless you're curious, there's no need to waste your time. Thanks for the 
offer, though. :-)


br,

vlatko
