Dynamically updated histograms (memory leak?)

I’m trying to implement dynamically updated histogram, I’ve created something like:

TCanvas *c = new TCanvas("blah"); TH1F *h = new TH1F("something","whatever",400,0,4095); TRandom *r = new TRandom (63545); h->Draw(); c->Update(); for (Int_t i = 0; i<1000000>Fill(2000*r->BreitWigner(0.2,0.05)+1000); if (i%100 == 0) { c->Modified(); c->Update(); } }

EDIT: fixed copy&paste errors in code…

the problem is, that this example (similar to root.cern.ch/root/html/examples/hsum.C.html) continuously fills up whole memory. It happens only for ROOT 5.x - memory usage growth is proportional to refresh rate.[/code]

I cannot reproduce the problem.
Which precise version are you using? on which system/os/version?

I’ve just noticed and fixed some weird copy&paste error in previous post (code) - sorry about that.

It is Gentoo Linux on x86

I have tried this on two different machines (both running Gentoo).
Now I’m going to compile older (but still 5.x) version of ROOT and test it.
