The answer it turns out is the garbage collector.  When I disable the

This raises a question though, can the logic of the garbage collector
be changed so that it is not triggered in instances like this were you
really do want to put lots and lots of stuff in memory.  Turning on
and off the garbage collector is not a big deal, but it would
obviously be nicer not to have to.

Heuristics, by their very nature, are not correct in all situations.
