I merged the patch but help us to test 2.1.1 as much as possible

based

on the revisions known to be good (http://www.freepascal.org/wiki/index.php/Tested_Unstable_Revisions)

so

we can get 2.2.0 out asap (head is currently broken due to heavy rewrites).

Thank you very much form merging. -> 2.0.4 Fixes looks better now... :-)

The perfect solution for your users would be if you run daily

regression

tests with trunk and tell users which revisions work good with Zeos (currently 5191 is a good bet) and tell us if you get worse test

results.

I found a very strange memory leak occurring with 2.1.1.

Bug is: 0007776 / FPC Revision 5191
http://www.freepascal.org/mantis/view.php?id=7776

--------------------------------
program zeos_memhole2;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
Function dlopen(Name : PChar; Flags : longint) : Pointer; cdecl;
external 'dl'; //A
Type
  TTest=class
   function Find(const Value:String):TTest;
  end;
 { TTest }
 function TTest.Find(const Value: String): TTest;
 // var i:integer; //C
 begin
  if (Length(Value) > 1) and (Result  nil) then begin
   result:=Find(Copy(Value, 2, Length(Value) - 1));
   // x:=Find(Copy(Value, 2, Length(Value) - 1)); // B
   // result:=x;
  end;
 end;
 var TT:TTest;
begin
 TT:=TTest.Create;
 TT.Find('AA');
 TT.Free;
end.
--------------------------------

Comment Line //A or uncomment line //B or //C
and the problem is "fixed" :-)
