Subject: Memory leak?

Hi,

Does anyone see anything here,

  for case_number in 1..NUMBER_OF_CASES
    case_dir = File.join( 'Cases', 'Case' ) + case_number.to_s.rjust(5,"0")
    mkdir_p case_dir
      ln_sf LINK_FILES, case_dir  unless LINK_FILES.empty?
         cp COPY_FILES, case_dir  unless COPY_FILES.empty?
    cd case_dir do
      fuzzy_contents.each do |original_name, fuzzy_content|
        File.open(original_name,'w'){ |f| f.puts fuzzy_content.sample }
      end
    end
    $stdout.print '.'; $stdout.flush
  end

that should cause a steady growth in memory?

It works fine for 5,000 cases; but by about 10,000 cases,
the process exceeds 2GB!

Thanks,
