Bad Memory Leak?

I'm just assuming that a memory leak is what's going on, but I wanted to report that windows actually popped up and warned me that it was low on memory and that I should close Fallen Enchantress. I've never seen that happen before for any program. I'd been running a game for about 5 hours straight at that point. Just prior to closing FE interface elements began to disappear which is what alerted me that something was wrong. For example the quick navigation stuff in the upper left vanished, on the research screen labels were missing for some techs, tooltips stopped popping up, etc. Hope this report is of some use,

This actually happened to me as well during an extended test session last night. I also have never seen the "Low Memory Warning" appear in Windows 7, and I have 8GB ram with 16GB swap allocated.

I noticed that UI elements on the left side and bottom of my screen were missing (and the file below contains a lot of errors regarding loading textures). I'm wondering if I ran out of graphics memory or something? I plan another extended test today to see if I can reproduce this again, and this time I'll try and gather more data.

Here is there debug.err file from just after I saved and exited the game:
