VMWare doesn't release memory after exiting.

Alle,

    I'm running RH8 2.4.18-24.8.0 and using VMWare 3.2. I've installed
WIN2K as the quest OS. When I startup to box and login to linux, memory
consumption is at about 36%:

	total:	   used:     free:	shared: buffers: cached:
Mem:  	1055244288 386134016 669110272    0     35733504 182738944

    After starting VMWare and logging in to W2K - 89% (512MB reserved
memory set for VMWare):

	total:	   used:     free:	shared: buffers: cached:
Mem:  	1055244288 921579520 133664768    0     12247040 715030528

  After shutdown of W2K and then VMWare - 60%:

	total:	   used:     free:	shared: buffers: cached:
Mem:  	1055244288 624025600 431218688    0     11948032 428929024


    Has anyone seen this? Is it a VMWare problem or an RH8 problem?
Desktop makes no difference, KDE, GNOME and WMAKER behave the same.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
