What I meant was, it's certainly possible for people to create memory 
"leaks" just in Lingo.  For instance, calling "play" to invoke a movie 
without "play done" will create the potential for a stack overrun, 
depending on your movie, and some other things.  I don't know anything 
about the things you've written or how you've written them.  It's entirely 
possible you're doing everything correct, or maybe not.  Short of seeing 
the actual movies, I couldn't say.

At any rate, try my suggestion of taking things out of the equation one by 
one and seeing if the problem goes away or not.
