 I have an application that needs to run 24 hours a day non-stop !!!

 Every so often this application brings up a selection dialog box. 
 How do I destroy the widgets I have created in order to keep the process
 size from growing monotonically forever.

 Running Motif under HP-UX 7.0 on a HP 9000/370.

        The code looks like:
 
        XtSetArg(arglist[al], XmNmustMatch, must_match);       al++;
        dialog_box = XmCreateSelectionDialog (toplevel,"Selection_Box",arglist,al);
        XtDestroyWidget(dialog_box);




        If I run those 3 lines in an infinite loop, memory continues to be
allocated indefinetely.

        Is it a Motif bug?
        Is it an HP-UX bug ?

                                Thank You, Jorge Fong
