I had noticed this, and guessed that the garbage collection in REBOL
reclaims memory back into it's own pool, but does not release it back to
the OS.

Subject:  [REBOL] Freeing memory



Hi,

if I create a block like this:

>> a: make block! 100000

the memory usage of REBOL increases.

If I do

>> unset 'a

there should be no references to the block.

However, the memory is not released.
How can I get the memory back?
