I have this same issue on P4 1.4GHz machine with 256Mb of RAM. It slows my cursor to a crawl as it quickly uses all of the remaining free RAM, and finally crashes. I can see in /var/logs/messages where the system is trying very hard to recover the "lost" memory after the program closes. The system returns to normal after a short period of drive activity.
