That would be great.  If you can isolate the problem, we'll definitely 
want to fix it.

We do routinely run QMTest with tens of thousands of tests per run 
without problems.  So, either you're tripping across a bug in some piece 
of the code that we tend to run less frequently, or something about the 
test class you're using might be responsible.  (That includes the case 
that it's a test class we provide.  It might be that we got a test class 
that isn't cleaning up after itself.)

Thanks,
