Martin, That sounds like a memory leak in v1.3. Can you try a newer version of PyMOL and let us know if it still happens? We've fixed lots of bugs since v1.3.
Also, is your script simply iterating over structures and deleting them when done? You sure you're not missing a cleanup step somewhere? (Any chance we can see the script or a stub of it?)
