Massive Memory Leak

Hi,

I've been a long time user of TVRename and loved it. I started using it as a batch process at the end of a download with great success. Sad thing is, tonight it started presenting a massive memory leak.

I at first thought I needed to restart my computer... nope
Then I thought maybe it was my scripts... nope

I started it normally and hit "Scan" and after it did the Search Locally part, TVRename starts chewing up memory like no one's business.
I then removed the Search Folder in the preferences thinking that it might skip that part... no change.
Also, I can hit "Cancel" on the scan progress dialog and the application works fine, but the memory is still being chewed up.

Any thoughts? I don't know what could have changed on my computer that would cause this to all of a sudden be a problem. Please advise.

Ok... strangest thing! Today it works... with no memory leaks. I didn't restart, I didn't re-install anything and it works.

Is it possible the data from tvdb caused this to occur?

More than possible. Some "Illegal" characters in the data tend to cause all sorts of issues.
