This also happened to me when I was working in an adpcm coder... I had to 
load .wav files on the image to compress them, and space left went down to 
3mb. After assigning nil to all names in the workspace I was working on, space 
left was still in 3mb. I closed the workspace and got back 10mb of memory...

I haven't been able to reproduce that state.

Andres.
