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

Hi folks,

I have a stack that has 2 or 3 self perpetuating messages which do a few
checks and the like....they run every 250 milliseconds or so.

There is no input data into the program unless I specifically send it there.

but while my program is sitting there ....repeating its loops and checks
for incoming input ...... the memory consumption is steadily going up by .1
megabytes at a time.

I have watched my global variables , there is nothing being added to them
and most handlers have local variables that clear out when the handler
finishes.

This happens in IDE and standalone.

This app is made to stay in memory so this is not acceptable, because after
2 days it will get up to 2gb or whatever....so i cannot let this remain.

maybe if i let it sit there it will eventually clear out ..but i haven't
seen that happen yet.

I just don't know where to look.  maybe i just found a memory leak
....Thanks for any input
