Hello All.

I have tried posting this question at msxml.webrelease but have not got any
reponse so f ar,

Development Environment
   -Visual C++ 6.0
    -MSXML 4.0 Service Pack 2

I am using MSXML extensively in my application for both reading and writing
xml files.
The application is a multithreaded application.

(1) I have a server application which runs in a 24 x 7 environment. The
server reads through XML files usinf SAX and also does extensive writing
using IMXWriter Interface.

(2) After about 5 to 6 hours the machine startes complaining of virtual
memory problem. This happens even when Free Disk Space is more than 2 G.B.

(3) I have read a afew articles in MSDN which mention memory leaks that were
fixed in msxml 4.0 SP2, which as i have mentioned is what we are using.

(4) Following are the observations
            a) The application has no memory leaks
            b) The peak memory usage is very high , goes up to 1,44,000K
            c) The No. of handles used by the application is also high,
around 430

Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated. A lot of research has
gone into this but i have been unable to get to the problem.
Is anyone aware of issues with using MSXML in a server environment?
any known bugs for leaking resource handles?


Thanks Regards,
Maansi
