Resource leakage?

[Stefan Kalkowski]

Hi Petr,

thanks for the review!

I assume you're using an older version of the Genode framework? The
memory leak you've described was removed by the following commit:


https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/commit/b38fee28672a9ba2ad4c94b1f5c69317b90f8712

To get the recent stable version of Genode, please checkout the master
branch of Genode's githup repository:

  https://github.com/genodelabs/genode.git

Best Regards
Stefan
