[Mono-list] Mono memory usage grows but application memory looks stable

[Manuel C.]

Sorry for the late response.

I tried also version 2.4.2.3, it's the same. I took me a few days to find
out that a missing Close() on a GZipStream was the root of all evil. Here is
an example:

        static void Decompress()
        {
            byte[] file = File.ReadAllBytes("in.dat.gz");
            Stream stream = new GZipStream(new MemoryStream(file),
CompressionMode.Decompress);
            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            while (stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length) > 0);
            // stream.Close();
        }

A function similar to this is called very often in my application. Under
Windows with.Net there is no issue, but with Mono the memory usage will
increase with every call of Decompress(). I thought the deconstructor of the
stream will call the Close or Dispose method?

Greetings
Manuel
