Hi Lupus,

Thanks for all your help... I get this output..

  582718568      98056     5942 System.Byte[]
         557328000 bytes from:
                 pam.ClientRun:ProcessCombinedModues 
(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1<pam.CombinedModule>)
                 pam.ClientRun:GetSshData (pam.ModuleOptions.SshOptions)
                 pam.SshControl:SendAndReturnData (string,string,int,bool)
                 pam.SshControl:GetData (string,int)
                 (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check) 
SBSimpleSSH.TElSimpleSSHClient:ReceiveText ()
                 SBSimpleSSH.TElSimpleSSHClient:ReceiveText ()

The way I read the info is that my "ClientRun.ProcessCombinedModules" 
invokes the "ClientRun.GetSshData" that invokes 
SshControl.SendAndReturnData and so on..

My pam.SshControl.GetData invokes TElSimpleSSHClient:ReceiveText many 
times to check if there are data comming back. So as I understand it its 
in the "SBSimpleSSH.TElSimpleSSHClient:ReceiveText" that does not clear 
a Byte array.. The reason I am a little puzled about this is that the 
"ClientRun" class runs every 5 minutes (it has a timer), but just before 
it starts it sets "SshControl=null" and then later it creates a new 
instance, so even if the "ReveiveText" method did not clear the Byte 
array then it should be destroyed by the GC right?

Or am I reading the output wrong?

Cheers
