Possible memory leak with helical symmetry

[Raven Gonsoulin]

Hello again,

I noticed something peculiar in between killing 'e2spt_refine_new.py' jobs. Using <htop>, I could see that the baseline Swp usage on our machines would gradually increase (even when killing the project manager itself and checking with <ps>).

In a previous related discussion it was mentioned the possibility of "a bug somewhere, possibly relating to the helical symmetry, causing memory leaks of some sort" (https://groups.google.com/g/eman2/c/ctAkyrLEVcM/m/G9WKv75hAAAJ).

During a 'e2spt_refine_new.py' refinement, it looks like that indeed the Mem usage gradually increases. In particular, during the subtilt alignment step ('e2spt_align_subtlt.py').

Let me know if there is any other info I could provide that would be helpful.

Thanks,

Raven
