In fact, if I traverse a huge directory structure and ask for the file properties, then I get the following Win7 error:
Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: perl.exe (9016) consumed 28608573440 bytes, mozybackup.exe (6128) consumed 650784768 bytes, and svchost.exe (420) consumed 306995200 bytes.
It looks like the destructor and garbage collection do not work properly
