[Trilinos-Users] [EXTERNAL] Epetra_FECrsMatrix memory issues?

[Nico Schlömer]

Alright so Jeremie's leak fix in Epetra_CrsMatrix earlier this week
does *not* address the issue.
Looking at the output of Valgrind's massif, it seems that the culprit is

0x88769C: std::vector<double, std::allocator<double>
>::_M_insert_aux(__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<double*,
std::vector<double, std::allocator<double> > >, double const&)
36.7 MB

in Epetra_FECrsMatrix::InputNonlocalValue. -- An iterator, really?
