Does your MC crash too?

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

Weird cause Im using windows with some 750 MB's of ram (*1.2 swap files)
MC usually doesn't go beyond 30MB's of ram usage (go figure for what!)

To me part of the problem seems that the allocation of the image space in 
the
stack is not "solid" - it is not compactable it seems for one, and once an 
image
is decompressed, that's it, you're stuck with that size...

Is this due to either a flaw in code or the emptying of the image?
It's a fact that no one seems to know HOW to empty an image (or imagedata) 

properly for example. Put empty into image or set the imagedata of img 1 
to ""
seem like 2 different usages neither of which are "FULLY" documented. 

I doubt it's an OS problem if it happens on more than one platform.

BTW, a clean OS resinstall is mandatory by us. It assures that there is no
flaw coming from the OS or the old system. It's worth it, believe me...
