If you are using Visual Studio, the problem is some kind of memory leak
having to do with the query object. I haven't narrowed it down, yet. I
hope I have some time to look into deeper.
Look at this thread for more info on it:

Has anyone else had time to look into this memory leak? I barely have
time to read these emails, these days. =)
BTW, Warren, you are doing a great job.
