Does Eu v4.0.1.Nov28.eui.exe winxp do it's own harddrive caching?
I have an app that grows ~24k bytes per sec, i caught it at 618megabytes earlier today. Really oddly, it then did a reset and dropped to 7Mbytes and then 1.7Mbytes, and it's growing again.
The app uses few function calls, and i have run them all in test*.ex files to 100,000 or 10,000,000 iterations and had no memory increases. All i can think of now is a cache in eui.exe that is purged when it simply cannot hold any more.
The app gets() a line, munges it, then on the basis of line contents it wither writes to an open file, or closes that file and opens another to append to. The file may or may not be pre-existing when opened. The readfile is ~1.8 Gbytes, the writefiles are numerous.

EDIT: the readfile is 2.8Gbytes
