I believe once IDL grabs memory from the OS, it cannot be returned until
the IDL session exits. However, you can free up the available memory
within IDL by reassigning a large array to an integer:

ARR = DBLARR(1024,1024,1024)
<do your work here>
ARR = 0

I'm sure there is more to this story, but I hope this helps.
