PHOENIX MEMORY LEAK?

In an effort to reduce the amount of heat my PC generates, I set my copy of Windows XP to not use any Virtual Memory so it wouldn't access the hard drive as much. I have 1 GB of memory fitted to the PC and when I run 6 Phoenix clients I am using 740MB. If I leave the PC for an extended period, over 24 hours, Phoenix will start generating errors and I get an 'Out of Virtual Memory' message from Windows. I'll try and copy the error message next time, but I'd already rebooted the PC when I started to write this.

The implication here is that Phoenix has a memory leak of some kind, as there is no reason the the extra 260 MB of RAM needs to be used.
