first of all, this bug in Gem has been fixed in recent SVN (after your initial bug-report)<br>
the obvious solution is to run the hottest Gem (no release out, though; so you have to compile it yerself)<br>
<br>
and since it is (was) a bug in the implementation of Gem, there is no way you can &quot;fix&quot; it in Pd. the only workaround is to restart Pd (which will free all stray memory). &quot;unloading&quot; does not work, because the memory had been lost.</blockquote>
<div><br>Is this also bug with pix_film?  I used pix_film for permanent installations to load hundreds of thousands of films over years without running into this problem.  The same patch also had large pix_buffer objects that are stable in RAM usage.<br>
