Memory leak when spawning

[jurgen.defurne at philips.com]

I thought that I could use None, like 'undef' in Perl.

Any suggestions on that ?

I'll implement the change and try again.

Thanks.

Jurgen

Hrm.  Not really I am afraid.  I dont see any leaks running this code.  You should be able to trim it down to something with a tight loop (ie, very quick or no sleeping) and see the memory usage rise pretty quickly.

Also, note that your code:
    (None, None, None,
     None, None, sec,
     None, None, None) = localtime(time())

Is very very dangerous - it is changing the builtin value None!!

Mark.
