Some work units unendingly allocate memory.
I see the FAQ saying that they can sometimes use up to 400 MB but I see them going way past that.
I killed this one when it was at 1.6 GB used. 45 minutes later it's back up to 1.2 GB.

Thanks ce6423 we will have a look at that and check what's happening.
Could be that with the set of generated parameters, the number of infections is exploding which does the number of objects created...
