[Scilab-users] Memory leak (v. 5.5.0)

[Tim Wescott]

I don't know why, but the attached script makes Scilab gobble up memory
like a bandit.  Granted, I'm running it over and over, but still...

I don't know if this happens with more recent versions.

Run the following, while keeping an eye on memory usage.  Memory is just
sucked up, and not returned until Scilab is terminated.

for n = 1:500; b = makeVector(b, 1e4); end
