Oh really. So how do we know if there were any leaked objects remaining then?
We still have those cases btw. Since I added the cleanup code to free
all the heap
objects, we don't panic nowadays but it is a bug nonetheless.
There is something wrong with either the vfs or our contract with vfs
since it does not seem to release references on some objects.. weird.

I will fix the code and the configure scripts together then..
when is the scheduled date for the next pvfs2 release?
