Actually, I was building with MPW, which isn't addressed in the patch.
The real problem is that strdup() calls malloc() internally, and the
vorbis library is neither freeing the strings returned by strdup(),
nor using the application provided memory functions to manage them.

It doesn't matter for me, since I already patched the code locally to
use the ogg memory functions, but I thought you would want to know.

Again, I'm not subscribed, so please CC me on replies.

See ya,
