BRepBuilderAPI_Sewing memory leak??

Hi,
Could someone help me? I used BRepBuilderAPI_Sewing in my application, to sew some faces, it works fine but it takes a lot of memory.
I executed my application with valgrind and I got this error:

==8650== 6,151,632 (66,144 direct, 6,085,488 indirect) bytes in 106 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 77,455 of 77,455
==8650== at 0x4A05140: calloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:418)
==8650== by 0x845298C: Standard_MMgrRaw::Allocate(unsigned long) (in /OpenCASCADE/ros/lib/libTKernel.so.0.0.0)

==8650== by 0xE819795: OCCStep::ReadRootGeom(char*) (OCCStep.cxx:171)

It is a memory leak.

In my code I just do:
BRepBuilderAPI_Sewing * sewing= new BRepBuilderAPI ();
While (face {myface=facecreation();
sewing->Add(myface);
face++; }
sewing->perform();
.......

So I used it to sew some faces and then I did:

delete(sewing);

But nothing change, after that the memory is not free!
what's wrong in my code??

Thank you

No, this is not necessarily a memory leak, see documentation about the MMGT_OPT environment variable. You should re-run your test after setting it to 0.

Hi Denis,
thank you for the quickly answer. I setted MMGT_OPT=0 but nothing changed, i got the same error.
Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot
