Out Of Memory when calling lots of ant in a build.xml

I've got an OutOfMemory too !

In fact, I've a build.xml file which calls several time another
build.xml file. After about 40 or 50 calls, it failed with an
OutOfMemory...  Why ant does not free the used memory ? Does it keep all
references to all the called files ?

Thanks

It is supposed to - can you somehow try to find out what is playing
the memory hog here?

Again, it is supposed to null them out.
