Guys, let's not confuse memory use climbing while idle with cannot load texture. These are separate issues.

I know the texture failure dialog says it could be out of memory. That's not the problem for those who see it instantly. It's because there were some bugs in dealing with file I/O (a few actually) and they've been fixed. Let's see if SR1 fixes it.

As to the climbing memory, this is normal, although it perhaps scares you. However, you've noted that most if not all the memory is given back when you minimize. It is also given back periodically. This is memory being used to cache messages going between the library GUI and Poser. It is a normal consequence of using modern "managed code" where the programmer is not responsible for memory management - the system is. This is how Flash works. Every once in a while, a garbage collector runs and gives the memory back. I watched this very carefully for hours and hours. It is not a bug when it is working as it is supposed to.

That's not to say it is impossible to consume all of memory doing nothing. There are any number of components that could be buggy in this area. I've seen graphics drivers do it, I've seen out-of-date versions of Flash and IE do it, lots of things that are under your control, not P8's control. Not saying you've done something wrong.

Sigh - I have to go on and on trying to explain these technical things. I'm sure I'm becoming boring/insulting again to somebody.
