<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I'm using liveMedia library to develop video recording application.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Turns out, when you try to record a really big file (like, several hours) you get stack overflow.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The problem is that linked lists are destroyed recursively in the code (eg. AVIIndexRecord in AVIFileSink, ChunkDescriptor in QuickTimeFileSink).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although this issue can be addressed by incrementing stack size, why not use iterated destruction?<o:p></o:p></p>
