I've tested my code with Instruments and memory watchers and can't find any leaks, but I can't reproduce these occasional problems. I only allocate memory on a per-frame basis and then release it but if FCP is getting very aggressive with memory crashing and I need a couple of Red-sized buffers, could this be the same situation as Pete is in?
It's certainly possible. I know that some of Pete's plug-ins use the temporal API a lot. Do yours also? (That's not the only reason this would happen, but I'd bet it's a contributing factor in some cases.)
