[basex-talk] BaseX Script memory leak . . ?

I have a BaseX script (.bxs) I am running that does queries in batches (sets of 5k documents), but as it progresses it bogs down in speed, does not release memory between sets even if I force it to close and reopen the db between queries, and eventually runs out of memory. But, if I break the same BaseX script into separate files still doing the same exact batches it is extremely fast and memory efficient. Very suggestive of a memory leak . . . I am running on BaseX 7.6.1 Beta. Any thoughts? Is there a way to force the script to do garbage collection?
