Others have pointed out that there may be a memory leak in the IDL
routines themselves. Things to try:

- Circumvent the EOS layer, and use the HDF-4 routines directly. If the
leak is in the EOS routines, this might solve your problem.

- The HDF-5 routines do not have this problem, at least not under
Linux. Depending on the volume of the data, h4toh5 may be able to
provide you with a suitable alternative.

I've used the HDF-5 routines to perform approximately 60000 file
open/close operations in a single run without issues under Linux. IDL
6.2 under Windows gave trouble well before that number was reached.
