Additional Information

We apologize that we were unable to address this issue within the current product support cycle. If the issue continues to affect your work in a supported release, please contact Technical Support.

Workaround

Split the data into smaller segments and use batch processing (Vb Scripts) and use the tool in a loop forall the segments. The above approach worked for dataset in zip folder - tempSplit.zip. However the memory seems to increase in this case as well but eventually was released when the interation was over.
