We are running on an HP/UX 10.20 platfor (T500). We currently have 1.5 GB of memory and I am in the process of doubling this amount of memory. We normally have 250 - 320 users logged on to the machine and while this problem of memory leaks has exhibited itself on our test platform (running forms 4.5) it has not exhibited itself on our production platform (forms 3.0).

The problem is serious enough to have us delay our 4.5 migration until it can be resolved. If we were running VMS I'd simply set the process's Working Set Limit to a maximum size. Alas, I do NOT believe we can have this level of control in our HP/UX environment).
