Hi Sean,

Thanks for looking at this.  However, your suggestion actually made
things worse.  Now, my memory usage increases each time I "run" example
a, as well as example b.

Is this problem related to my version/platform of Mathematica?

Does anyone know of an equivalent for "ls -l" that I could run on
Mathematica to track down the memory hog?  I tried several things, but 
it looks like this memory is out of my reach.

For example,
(* begin *)
objects = Names[];
sizes = Table[ByteCount[objects[[i]]], {i, Length[objects]}];
Total[sizes]
(* end *)

Running this code snippet doesn't show any increase in the memory used 
by my objects, even though MemoryInUse[] does.  Therefore, I want to 
know, where is my memory going?

Later,
Daniel
