I don't think Apple have introduced any new bugs or memory leaks the last few years.

I _think_ that this is new on 7.2 on Mac, as our app now leaks big-time - difficult to install old versions of QT to find out though.

The leak manifests itself as ~1MB leak of process memory per play-new-clip in our app on 7.2. I'm having difficulty persuading QA that we can release it in this state.

I don't know the specifics of your case as I don't use the quicktime.app.time.Timer class. It's certainly possible this is a new bug. Don't be afraid to try and solve it yourself though, using a decompiler, memory profiler, etc.

I've certainly had to do things like call setMovie(null) or disposeQTObject() myself before now to fix what I would class as bugs in QTJava, but that's always been the case if you want a fix quickly, even back in the days when Bill Stewart was actively working on it.

You might also consider using the underlying QTCallbacks directly rather than going through the higher level app class, as that might give you a bit of extra control over what's going on.
