We have a similar situation. We have a database that sends various applescript commands that mount and dismount server volumes at a set interval. If certain conditions exist files are copied from here to there. After several hours of running, the database application gets an internal out of memory error (not a Finder error) Restarting the mac temporarily fixes this. I'm at the point where I'm wondering if Applescript has some general memory leak, the system's heap is filling up prior to this problem and nothing else is running on this Mac. Anybody every solve a problem like this? --q~

Sounds like a memory leak to me. If you open the about this mac window, is
the memory partition for the applescript all used up? If it is, then the
app is either leaking memory or you are creating too many variables ( or a
really long list ).

One cheap way around this is to have one of the apps quit the other one that
is running out of memory and then relaunch it.
