Changing status to ASSIGNED. Thanks for catching this, bruce.

Caught me. There's currently no provision for freeing/unloading interface info entries. Maybe soon...

David Gardiner posted a patch in netscape.public.mozilla.patches that should at least take care of part of this leak (maybe not the whole thing if there isn't a provision for freeing/unloading the entries as you say).

I applied Dave's patch. Thanks for the pointer, Bruce. I'm not sure I know how to read purify logs. Is there just one leak in this trace? (my fix was to xpt_struct.c:454)

This (particular) leak is fixed - Bruce set me straight on how to read purify reports.

per developer comments, and this being a code level fix, marking as verified
