[LAD] memory leak assistance

Hi, I have some code in gtk2 that is leaking and I can't fix it. Over the past two nights I have managed to get the leak down from 200MB/minute to 200MB/10 minutes but I can't get rid of it completely. It's annoying because it increments in 200MB blocks so I have to wait for up to 10 mins to see if it is fixed or not. I have tried valgrind but it doesn't really like jack and did not give me any useful output. I have traced the leak through normal debugging and have verified that it does not happen if I disable this offending code. This code is run in the widgets realize event and the event is triggered every 500ms. PangoContext *pc = gtk_widget_get_pango_context(widget); PangoLayout *pl; PangoFontDescription *pfd; PangoRectangle rect; pfd = pango_font_description_new(); pango_font_description_set_family(pfd, "sans"); pango_font_description_set_size(pfd, 8 * PANGO_SCALE); pango_context_set_font_description(pc, pfd); pl = pango_layout_new(pc); pango_layout_set_text(pl, "99", -1); pango_layout_get_pixel_extents(pl, &rect, NULL); pango_font_description_free(pfd); g_object_unref(pc); If I add another g_object_unref(pl) ; The app code will compile but when I run it I get this segfault: *** glibc detected *** ./src/jackeq: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000001b87a60 *** I can have one g_object_unref for either pl or pc without segfaulting but not both. I'm pretty sure this is the last leak I have to catch for the merged gtkmeter.c/gtkmeterscale.c and I can't release jackeq until it is fixed. Any assistance with this one is appreciated.
