This sounds like another Memory Leakage error, that is caused by using the
RichEdit structures to change the Font, Escape, Color, and various other
aspects of a RichEdit Control's Text.  I know I ran into this problem when
working on my Simple RichEdit library.  Derek, you may want to double check
your RichEdit functions, to make sure they are truely releasing the RichEdit
structures, and they aren't just being nestled away, allowing memory to
accumulate.
