Thanks, Bob, and I will, but not before you answer some of my questions.
I had good reasons to ask them, one of which is that I don't feel like wasting my time if, for example, you are using an older version of Python that *did* have a memory leak.

Perhaps you could try using the new subprocess module, instead of using os.popen directly.
A fair amount of work went into making the Windows implementation of that module as solid as the *nix implementation, whereas there may still be issues with direct os.popen calls (as Roel's investigation suggests).
Cheers, Nick.
