Windows 7.0. For additional information, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Quit Visual FoxPro for the memory to be released.
STATUS

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior
-------------------------------
1. Paste the following code in a program (.prg) file, and then run the program
from the Command window:
ON ERROR *
CLOSE DATABASES ALL
DELETE FILE testtab1.DBF
CREATE TABLE testtab1 (longfield c(254))
FOR T=1 TO 10000
