Hi!
IMO it's not a memory leak. VFP has own memory manager, which may not free the memory until it's really needed.
About minimizing and restoring of application. Allocated by VFP memory is different in foreground and background modes. You can view these settings and
change by SYS(3050) function. On my comp it's about 36 Mb and 9 Mb.
