Need help with a nasty memory management problem

Subject: Need help with a nasty memory management problem

I've got a program to convert PDFs to Jpegs formatted for the Sony PSP (http://pdf2psp.sourceforge.net) that's got a nasty memory problem - when processing a large pdf it becomes huge (over a gigabyte!) - but when processing is finished it shrinks back to a svelte 2 megs.

Malloc debugger says I'm not leaking - but obviously I need to periodically force a garbage collection loop. Is there some way to force garbage collection to occur?

Can I spawn a secondary thread to do garbage collection?
