Welcome to the club! Ours is not quite THAT bad, probably because our Apps programmers have pulled some tricks to minimize the problem. One thing you might want to look at is open cursors - there are a bunch of "memory leaks" in and around cursor handling, and we found that if you make SURE to explicity close cursors, SOME of the problems go away.

The latest word we have out of support is "fixed in 7.0.16", which we're going to start installing later this week. If you send me your email address, I'll send you back some results, although I expect what we're going to see is more "Out of Memory" messages rather than a real fix.
