[Osi] copying a linear program

[John Perry]

Hi

My apologies if I've sent this to the wrong list; let me know if so.

I want copy a linear program many times (several hundred). An examination of 
the source code suggests that this is the right approach:

#include "include/coin/OsiCbcSolverInterface.hpp"

int main() {
  OsiCbcSolverInterface * si = new OsiCbcSolverInterface(NULL);
  
  for (int i = 0; i < 13; i++) {
    si = new OsiCbcSolverInterface(si);
  }
  
  while (true) {}
}

but even this empty linear program causes exponential memory consumption. Am I 
going about this the wrong way, or is it a bug?

(I looked at the source and couldn't find anything obviously wrong, but I'm 
not accustomed to C++.)

regards
john perry
