Here is a log of my most recent attempt at rendering the scene.

10:45	- Started render.
~12:00	- First noticed the "Bad allocation" message. Let the render 
continue anyway."Current Memory Usage" indicator hovers around 32MB 
despite nearly all my 3GB of RAM being used up.
12:45	- Stopped the render manually. The little tune for ending a render 
rings. "Current Memory Usage" starts ticking upward to about 2.5GB. 
Toolbar buttons are still grayed out.
1:05	- Most memory has been reclaimed. "Current Memory Usage" indicator 
oscillates between ~100MB to ~750MB.
1:30	- The little tune rings again. The toolbar buttons are usable 
again. "Current Memory Usage" is still around 175MB.



It takes 45 minutes to reclaim the memory used up by the render? I think 
this behavior is very odd.
