I didn't lose anything. I just needed to reload certain data. It isn't just this code. It has happened many times before on other code. If I am doing something wrong, let me know so I can mend my ways :) Otherwise, I am inclined to believe there is some memory management (or setting?) issue. Running the same code over and over again should yield the same results (memory wise ;) ) Have you switched off the history tracking by evaluating $HistoryLenght=0? If not, it is not surprising that you end up with the "Out of memory" error when running the same code over and over again. In any case, you should provide short working example code to allow someone to find the reason for the "memory leak" or decide that it is just another bug in the garbage collector.
