Default Pro Tools staying stuck in RAM after closing session and application?

I'm seeing an error stating that Physical Memory is running low. I have 32GB and have seen this error with Disk Cache set as low as 3GB. I close the session, RAM is still in use. I close the entire application and RAM is still in use. atMonitor tells me it's Pro Tools. So I kill the Pro Tools process and the RAM finally gets released.

Anyone else seeing this? I think it started in one of the recent versions of Pro Tools 2018.

I heard that some of the beta builds had this issue, but I didn't think it was happening in any release version. Which exact version are you running(and have you tried moving to the next or previous version)?

... and *always* suspect plugins. Especially for memory consumption/out of memory. And they could also cause Pro Tools or a session to fail to close.

This has been my experience as well.

I haven't seen this on any released version(running 2018.7 at the moment). Wonder if its different between Windows and Mac?
