[cvsnt] Re: Resource leaks in 2.5.xx ???

Hi Tony,

If not task manager, what is the best thing to be looking at?

Agreed: "On a normal system I'd expect the physical memory to be used by the 
OS as much as possible."

But, when programs, processes, tasks, services, etc. terminate: the OS 
should have the memory back that was consumed! This is not happening... And 
again, all that is "actively running" on the server is cvsservice.exe and 
it's spawned cvs.exe procs...
