Hi,

I have several (identical) Scripts running simultaneously in several
contexts in the same runtime and they are being arbitrarily started
and stopped. It is possible that there is always at least one script
running. Therefore the garbage collector is never being started and
the engine locks up sooner or later due to not enough memory.

Unfortunately I cannot change the way the scripts are being started
and it is possible that one script may run for days. I am using
JS_BeginRequest and JS_EndRequest to prevent the GC to start while
there are scripts active.

Is there a way to start the Garbage Collector while the scripts are
active or is there any other way that might help me to prevent to
engine to run out of memory ?

I hope I anyone is able to help me with this...

Thanks in advance,

Zaph
