   I'll take your word for that, I hardly know what GC is...

I did not follow this thread and I do not know whether this has
already been pointed out to you, but you can force a garbage
collection using

M-: (garbage-collect)

If by any chance you then see `nil' in the echo area, we know what the
problem is (pure space overflow). Actually, you can do `M-x garbage-collect'
to force garbage collection, but then you do not see the return value in
the echo area.

thanks for this... so when I do this after killing the image buffers I get in the echo area:

((201785 . 16002) (29710 . 0) (1424 . 383) 3020224 374951 (873 . 247) (676 . 67) (57159 . 8298))

but the memory use does not change.
