Steve, Just a hunch as this sounds strangely familiar. Can you determine how many strings you're creating and concatenating? I ran into a problem some years back where I was returning map(c,s1,s2) where c was a 1 character string. For each character I would do this 9 times creating 9 new strings. As I was concatenating the result with the previous function a character at a time, it got pathelogical. Even for a few hundred characters of message I overflowed the Icon GC counter.
