memory not freed up?

Please point in right direction.

I use the cvf compiler and notice after allocating and deallocating
arrays (about 10-50MB per array) some memory is not actually available
even though all arrays are deallocated. The exact size/number of
arrays I can allocated before this becomes a problem varies and seems
like it depend on machine load. Is something wrong with cvf? Are
other compilers better or is this windows fault? I use examples right
out of the manual (just larger arrays and more) so I dont think I do
something wrong. Someone must notice this it seem so simple.

Thanks
