Given your description, I would hazard a guess that you have a circular
reference somewhere (such that some objects may remain referenced after
you believe they should have been discarded). You could _probably_ break
that circle with some carefully placed 'del' statements somewhere - but
you'd need to analyze your data structures (and closures) first to see
if that's the case.
