+Gabriel, I have tested using a similar script, but written in C# and
+it didn't increase the memory consumption. The problem might be
+associated with the FileSystemWatcher implementation that you're
+using. In my test mono used inotify to monitor files.
+
+What OS did you perform the tests? In case of linux, could you test me
+which notification mecanism was used?
+
+Did you have the MONO_MANAGED_WATCHER enviroment variable set?
+
+Juraj, your patch looks fine, could you sent it to the mono-devel list
+so it can have more reviews as it touches some very sensible code.
