Freeing memory in Jade (was: Help: Scanning non-SGML files)

A while back, I was trying to figure out how to get the BoundingBox of
an EPS graphic, so that the FrameMaker AFrame could be sized
automatically to it.  James suggested:

> Use the read-entity external procedure.

That works great.  (If anyone wants the whole routine, e-mail me.)
However, trying to process a 500+ page book (_Exploring Java_), Jade
runs out of memory.  Since it didn't do this before I added this code,
I assume that it's keeping the strings of the EPS files around after
the construction rule is done.

Is there any way to force Jade to free that memory, or do I have to
create some sort of Makefile hoop to process each chapter separately?

TIA,
Chris
