There were a number of leaks fixed (of the type wherein the data buffer associated with a created REAL_DATA wasn't freed).

In addition, I fixed a number of cases wherein a REAL_DATA buffer was created but not added as a data source. The effect is that selecting the field in the details pane highlights some bytes in whatever byte pane is currently active (since the byte pane for the buffer containing the field doesn't exist).


Gerald:

I can (and will) update the 1.6 trunk (and release notes & etc) if there's time and you think it's appropriate.
