memory management

[Process Control]

Hi,

I ran the follwing commands:

stacksize("max")
tic();rand(10000,10000);toc()

It works fine and the stacksize after running these commands is:

2.684D+08    8179

But in the process monitor on gnome, scilab-bin is occupying 1.6 GiB. So,
the only way to free this RAM is to restart scilab. Please, could you
explain what is going on and how to free the memory without restarting
scilab.

thank you
