Thanks for the answer.
My demand for the ODB is not at all high. Thats surely not the reason ...

I run that def() below, and gave up at about 3 Million, when my (huge)
swap-partition startet to fill up. Very nice to look at diverse graphical
(KDE) system-monitors btw.

I can now reproduce those memory errors with durus only having 100 persistent
dict() in it.

Can I assume, that there is nothing really wrong in my sample code?
I have gcc 4.0.2, could that be a problem? IMHO I should not be able to
produce a memory|pointer problem with python, should'd I?
Is there a way to run Durus with python only? No C-helper? to test ...

Ciao

Kai
