I was running DosBox 0.61. After quitting from program, I can't run any other programs because there is not enough memory. I though effect would go away after a few seconds, but it didn't. It seems that DosBox forgot to free memory!

If it matters, that's what I was running in DosBox:
Norton Commander 4.0
Betrayal At Krondor (game works good, you can add it to your list)

For me, this same problem had to do with the openGL initialisation ; I recompiled dosbox from source without openGL support, and the problem has gone now.
I experienced this problem in Windows ME (Nvidia Geforce FX 5200, latest drivers).
In linux, there is no problem. So maybe the Windows Nvidia drivers are causing trouble (?) ...

Note that the openGL initialisation always happens in dosbox 0.61, even if you select another output method in the dosbox.conf file.
