Description

Not sure this is a memory leak, but i have my doubts that this is an intentional feature.

All the observations that follow refer to code freshly pulled from the trunk.

When running the simulation (without any digitization), the json output file gets a new line for each spill we run. The number of hits in the "mc" branch of each new line grows with each new spill. Shouldn't there be a reset? If we try to run a large number of events, the memory consumption becomes unbearable at some point. (Had to restart my laptop when trying to run 1000 spills).

Are you using the trunk version? I think this is an old bug:

bzr pull lp:maus

or

bzr merge lp:maus

Yes, I'm using the trunk version.

I first found this feature on my own version and then verified it in code just pulled from the trunk.

Ack - sorry... not in a test so I broke it when I updated the code. Will implement fix plus test ASAP.
