Big memory leak, LoadRaw

[Steve Williams]

Russell, This is the memory that I told you about. Are you the expert at this? If not pass it on or back to me. Cheers, Steve

Running this script LoadRaw(Filename="POLREF00003014.raw",OutputWorkspace="W",SpectrumMax="4",LoadMonitors="Separate")

increases the amount of memory MantidPlot uses by about 300 Meg. So running it three times causes a bad alloc follwed by termination.

(In [4108]) Streamline PolrefExample system test by deleting intermediate workspaces. There is a memory issue though, somewhere in the log file handling. Re #1154.

(In [4117]) Clear memory leak in PropertyManager copy assignment operator. Re #1154.

[Russell Taylor]

(In [4148]) Improve the speed of LoadRaw in the presence of multiple periods, particularly in the case where the monitors are loaded separately where memory usage is also significantly reduced if there are large log files. Also fixed a minor bug in the attachment of period logs to workspaces. Re #1154.

[Russell Taylor]

(In [4157]) Fix various memory leaks (mostly only in tests) and other problems flagged up by valgrind. Re #1154.

[Russell Taylor]

(In [4158]) Just clear a few compiler warnings. Re #1154.
