I had the exact same problem with a large script that I use. The only
solution I have found was to have the script exit once an hour and use a
batch file running in a loop to restart the script.
Fortunately, my script allows me to close it each hour without any loss of
functionality. I am also interested to know if there is a way to free up
unused memory.
