Hi Thomas,
guess the leak in RBScript is no quick fix, either.
While i agree that using RBScript is a basic functionality which should
certainly run without leaks, are you sure it was without problems in 4.5.3?
And since the weather is getting hot in germany the next days: Try to calm
down a bit, so you get not overheated ;-)
