Re^5: Change in memory consumption when using debugger

When you say (in the comments) "comment out ... and the effect goes away", do you mean:

It no longer consumes the 125 MB without the debugger?
Using the debugger no longer prevents it from consuming memory?

What happens if you move the whole of Problem_Routine() and the associated statements to the end of the program?

Examine what is said, not who speaks.
