Flash player memory leak? 3.4GB in "Other Players"

I am having an issue where "Other players" in Scout is over 3.4GB. No joke Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

 

For automated testing I am repeatedly starting a flash app and then closing the flash window dozens of times and it doesn't seem like the flash player is releasing memory.

 

This is with IE9. Does anyone know why this would be?

 

So the sequence is:

 

1) Load IE and open two tabs for two webpages I need

:LoopStart

2)  Launch a 3rd separate popup page with the flash app inside it

3) Close flash app popup

Goto LoopStart

 

Loop is repeated dozens of times.

 

The IE process in the task manager is 3.5GB. When I look in Scout the memory for the latest session shows "Other Players" as 3.4GB.


Do I have to close the IE process periodically to release memory? I thought garbage collection would reclaim memory periodically.

 

I am using flash player debug 11.6.

 

This is on a Windows 7 64-bit machine with 6GB RAM.
