Memory Problems and "shdw"

I have written a large program in the Mathemetica language and I am
having memory problems.  The MemoryInUse[] is growing at 10 Megs per
hour when the program is running and I haven't figured out why.  Can
anyone recommend a way to track down where the memory is used?  Right
now I am using 2 methods to try to find the problem:

1)  Print["memory = ", MemoryInUse[]] in several places.

2)  sz[s_Symbol] := ByteCount[ DownValues[s]]; 
    sz[x_]       := ByteCount[x];
    Print[{sz[ToExpression[#]], #} & /@ Names[] // Sort];


Also, is there any way to suppress the "shdw" warning message?

Thanks,

Hein
