Latest Gentoo
Python 2.3.5-r2
Qt 3.3.4-r3
sip snapshot 20050917
PyQt snapshot-20050917

Debian testing
Python 2.3.5-3
Qt 3.3.4-3
sip snapshot 20050917
PyQt snapshot-20050917

Actually the debian doesn't have the leak in QMovie, there is a leak
somewhere else because my application still is losing memory somewhere.
I narrowed one leak using Gentoo to QMovie and it does it reliably
thought I found it, but the Debian box doesn't leak with the QMovie
example the leak is somewhere else.

Ok, so if you don't have the leak either, I'll just assume something is
really weird with me. I also need to narrow the debian leak.

So there must be something I do terribly wrong when I install sip and
PyQt or PyKDE because both machines cause leaks one way or another. I've
been having troubles for months, this whole time I was just waiting on a
newer version but it seems it is me that has the problem.

Thanks for your time.
