Memory problem with VXT2000's

Hi all:
We have a number of VXT-2000 xterms here that download a boot image from
a remote machine. Each has 14Mb of memory. After boot, each has ~6Mb
of memory left free.

Our problem is that if folks use Netscape, XV, or some other program that
displays bitmapped images, the VXT-2000's eventually run out of memory
and crash. Apparently the VXT s/w is not reclaiming the memory used by
an image once it is closed. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there
a fix? We're running v 2.1 of the VXT s/w.

Thanks in advance,
--Lee
