A problem of that sort was uncovered recently (see thread "crash after 63
frames" in p.unofficial.patches at the beginning of November), though it
seems to be related to image_pattern and pigment_pattern using an image_map
but not to using image_map directly. This particular issue will be fixed in
the next release.

However, I sometimes have a memory problem with repeat renders of files
containing direct image_map statements (particularly with large maps), but I
have not been able to replicate it so far.
