Initial Comment:
Hi,

I submitted this to the developers list, but realized that it should have been 
submitted to the bug tracker. Sorry.

I was wondering whether the following should indeed happen, proposing that it 
really shouldn't :-)

I start jmol (latest from SVN:11.1.27) inside the cube directory of the 
jmol-datafiles, so I can load the 2px.cub.gz file several times. Initially the 
memory use is 13 6 64 (MB total free max, respectively, from the popup)

Next I do the following load and see what the popup tells me about the memory 
usage:

$ isosurface pos 0.032 "2px.cub.gz"
memory use is : 27 12 64

$ isosurface pos 0.032 "2px.cub.gz"
memory use is : 40 19 64

$ isosurface pos 0.032 "2px.cub.gz"
memory use is: 48 21 64

$ isosurface pos 0.032 "2px.cub.gz"
memory use is : 61 27 64

$ isosurface pos 0.032 "2px.cub.gz"
memory use is : 64 25 64

$ isosurface pos 0.032 "2px.cub.gz"
memory use is : 64 20 64

$ isosurface pos 0.032 "2px.cub.gz"
and Jmol crashes.

I initially encountered the problem with a huge cube file (about 50MB big) and 
noticed that when I had the first surface drawn and written the isosurface JVXL 
file. I could zap the model but the memory was not released. I also noticed 
that as I waited the amount of free memory kept diminishing until Jmol crashed. 
I decided to try to reproduce a similar problem with a cube file that is 
already available in the datafiles. Turns out that I didn't even have to write 
a JVXL file to start making this happen.

Thanks,
René
