Dev/2000 under Win3.11 - CALL_FORM memory loss

[Quoted] I'm using Developer/2000 V1.2 under Windows 3.11

The application being designed is using 'CALL_FORM' for inter-form navigation. Form 'A' calls form 'B', which calls form 'C', etc... either via the menu or a button - all simple stuff!

The application suffers from memory seepage, where the memory allocated on calling a form is not released on return. The application eventually crashes with a General Protection Fault (DE15WIN.DLL at 001F:0023F).

I can't use FIX1MB.EXE for memory management, or upgrade to Windows 95/NT (Yet!) - both for political reasons beyond my control! I plan to upgrade to version 1.3.2 (16 Bit), but my initial testing indicates that the problem still exists in this version.

If I redesign the application and merge individual forms into larger complex forms, I run the risk of making the forms too big to debug.

What can I do?

I'd be grateful for any ideas.
