The main changes I was thinking about happened in August, 2000,
some five months after 1.3.1 was released.  Those changes made
a huge difference in the stability of the stack in general.

There may still be other problems in there which could lead to
leaking memory.  Have you tried to investigate more?  There are
some functions which you can call to peek into the memory usage
of the stack.  Try calling 'cyg_kmem_print_stats' periodically
to see what it tells you.
