Nice to hear you found a solution. Still, it would nice if the obvious way to do it didn't leak memory ;) I thought the memory leak hunting I did a few months ago had resolved this, but it wasn't testing exactly the same thing -- it was creating figures directly in each iteration, not just calling plot. I'll look into this further.
