OK, that might be your point.
On the other hand, since he is the project manager, he should then
forward to whom he thinks is responsible.
I do not send mails out automatically. Maybe I should, but you wouldn't
like to get complains about Couenne caused memory leaks in OS from me
every day ;-).

You mean the NBcbcRunTimes.cbcSaveRuntimes ? I don't know if someone use
it, but I would argue that it is the task of the cbcSaveRuntimes routine
to decide whether it wants to collect the timings from the reeng branch.

See above.
