[Insight-developers] purify errors on VC++

[Lydia Ng]

Hi All,

I just installed purify for the PC and ran it on the
itkBasicArchitectureTest.
I get whole bunch of "Uninitialized memory read in DName::DName"
errors - each time something is created using the ObjectFactory.
(see an example below)

Is this an ITK problem or VC++ problem?

Also there are 5 memory leaks (see log below)

GE people: do you these purify errors show on the other
test platforms?
