What are possible reasons for memory consumption going up on stack that isn't doing much?

[Tom Glod]

So i've been watching this running standalone a while .... and it seems to
have stopped for now...I'm going to keep it running and see how high up it
gets.

Its like the engine is caching system events or something .... I'll post
again in a few hours to see if its gotten any higher than this.....
