I did the same thing by copying the script and removing all that was not related to %RCache. I could run it 25 times more than the calls in the script and 'no memory leak'. It seems that something I'm doing is making %RCache the victim of another part of the script.

I did remove all I/O. In the actual code, the first time I go to the resetCache subroutine is more the 3 minutes into the run, while I could run the reduced script in less than 2 seconds. So there's a lot going on, but it has to be my code.

I'm using 'sysseek/sysread/syswrite' because of having boundary problems with 'seek/read/print' or mainly 'print', but I have been pleased with the performance of the 'sys*' functions. I'll try to remove less code and see what happens.

Thank you for thinking of the packages. I'll keep you informed.
