OK, I should have hunted about a bit more before posting. I 
discovered that I must set the -cache 0 option when I start the 
server.


However, although the memory no longer grows, I still get an error 
'signal 11 caught', after the same number of iterations. Its not an 
error in the data sets since its the number of datasets read that 
seems to be probelm.

The other curious thing is that if I disconnect the 'image' module, 
its sems to read in all teh datsets with no problem at all :(

What is going on ?
