If PARDISO generates an error, does it release its memory?

[crispybits]

I see that when error <> 0 , the example just exits after phase 1, 2 or 3 without calling PARDISO with phase=-1.

Is this safe?

On the phase=-1 PARDISO releases internal memory and deletes OOC files (if necessary). So in PARDISO examples described behavior is safe, because internal memory cleaned automatically on exit. This phase = -1 makes sense in the following situations:
1) PARDISOis used in OOC mode, so working files need to be deleted;
2)Your program continues its work afterPARDISO calls and internal PARDISO data should be released.
