Lorenzo,

I have looked into this briefly, but I don't see the issue.  Unfortunately,
I don't have an Oracle instance running currently, so it is hard for me to
dig into the problem.  I tried to install Oracle10g on my FC2 system but
filed do some sort of shared memory failure.

I would encourage you to file a bug in bugzilla explaining what version of
GDAL/OGR you did this with, how many records were in the table, how you
determined there was a memory leak and how much memory was being apparently
leaked.

Best regards,
