I can confirm that.
plus that memory leak actually started since TS4 the first version,
then went worse in b19 ...

I have tested variously conditions ... and the leaks seems to come
from switching data on the same chart ... plus drawing and erasing
objects on the charts. In fact, any switching of indicators like
replacing a set with another also cause some minor leaks ...

To minimize the hazzle and extend the running period, one can
install winNT 4, having a huge virtual memory setup ... and at least
128M ram, then you can probably restart only once a week.
I always restart mine once a week after backup ... I still keep
one on the side running :)
