That is according to Task Manager.  (I know, not a reliable source.)  On 
that same note however, the VM Size increases by 70MB per additional run.

I know that there is a leak because after 3-4 renders, my computer starts 
using its swap file like crazy and nothing runs or refreshes very quickly, 
whereas it does during the first few renders.

I have trimmed my code down to a (very) small sample scene that exhibits the 
problem.  After each rendering pass POV-Ray consumes 10MB more VM space 
according to Task Manager.  This is compared to 3.6.1a which even after 10 
renders only uses a combined total of Mem and VM 10512K + 6224K = 16736K 
(much less that 3.7 would be (10MB*10=100MB each for both Mem and VM)).

Sample Scene: ( just 2 comments)
