[Dxspider-support] Memory Leak in Windows

[Lee Sawkins]

Ian

I installed FreeRam and have run it manually a few times. 
Every time I do, it cuts back the memory usage of the Perl instances by
several Mb.  Maybe its just the RAM getting very fragmented or
something.  That program certainly seems to work.
