genbox in gromacs 4.0.4 segfaults:

....

Methanol coordinate file

#2 Updated by Berk Hess over 10 years ago

I can not reproduce this segv.
Could you check if 4.0.5 has the same problem?
If so, could you install valgrind and run genbox in valgrind:
valgrind genbox -ci ...
redirect the output,
do grep ==
on the output and put that on bugzilla?

Thanks,

Berk

Remaining memory leaks

#6 Updated by Jussi Lehtola over 10 years ago

The patch fixes the segfault, but there is some memory still leaked. Attached log of valgrind --leak-check=full.

#7 Updated by Berk Hess over 10 years ago

I fixed this bug for 4.0.6 and 4.1.

Gromacs is (unfortunately) full of memory leaks.
But this is only due to data structures not being properly freed
when programs finish, it therefore has no effect on memory usage.

Thanks for reporting and testing this,

Berk
