memory problems with cvs gnu emacs on latest cygwin

Thu Aug 3 17:49:00 GMT 2006

I have reported this problem to the gnu emacs developers a few times, but it 
seems that emacs is not actively maintained for cygwin right now. perhaps 
someone here can help? I am happy to provide more details if needed. 
thanks...
A brief problem description:
memory usage of emacs does not decrease after killing buffers with images.
details:
I start emacs with
emacs.exe -q --no-site-file&
the memory usage right after startup is 14912;
after editing a small image: 16452;
after killing the buffer with the image and using M-:(clear-image-cache 
t)RET: 16476;
after editing a large image: 39164;
again quit+clear cache: 34484;
edit small+medium+large images: 58936;
quit+clear: 87636... (increased!)
I hope someone can look into this, and I am happy to provide information 
given specific instructions.
thanks... EU
