About a year ago I ran into memory leakage on Windows NT with IDL 5.2.
It was very simple program using just I/0. The problem was solved by
changing some Windows NT option. I can't remember now its exact name
(and I don't have NT nearby) but it was concerned application memory
allocation priority. If it is your case and you can't find this option
yourself e-mail me without hesitation.
