Status: Verified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
SYMPTOM(s):
Creating XML documents using Microsoft XML COM object (MSXML2.DLL)
Memory is leaked whenever the addChild() method is invoked
Invoking the addChild() method in Visual Basic or Delphi does not cause a memory leak
CAUSE:
BUG# 20030220-002
CAUSE:
This is a known issue - when a RELEASE OBJECT is invoked against a COM-HANDLE variable a bug in Microsoft's VariantClear() API causes the Microsoft Release() API to not be invoked when the COM-HANDLE variable is a combination of the VT_DISPATCH and VT_BYREF types
FIX:
Upgrade to Progress 9.1D06 or later Progress release.
If you are on 9.1C / Win32, install the latest 9.1C patch.
