c'mon, how long has memory leaks been an issue and still not resolved?


Who says it's a memory leak? 51 days sounds suspiciously like the Windows 95/98 issue where the whole OS would crash or hang after 49 days.

Here it is.

In this particular instance, it's a millisecond count rollover. 2^32 ms = 49.7 days. Not sure why they're getting 51 days in this particular case, but I suspect something very similar.

Is it common to leave planes powered on for over a month and a half...?
