>since I have a gnarly case of OCD, I'm always checking my own C/C++ programs for leaks.

That's not OCD but the sign of being a good developer. Having to find bugs and memory leaks is not pleasing, but making the best effort that you find the bugs/leaks before the users do, that's just pro.

Aww, thanks! Your comment made my day.

But, I really do have OCD (self-diagnosed). Believe me, I've actually re-written dozens of C/C++/Java programs I authored just to make code style and indentation changes. I once rewrote an entire music directory utility I use personally (about 10 source files) just to get rid of what Valgrind said was a "possible" 12-byte leak (according to a CS professor who examined my code, Valgrind may have given a false positive).
