Question : webservice.htc memory leak quick fix

Hi,
i've read in numerous articles now that the webservice.htc has a memory leak. In the future at my company, we will be rewriting the code not to depend on behaviors, but for the time allocated now, we are looking for a quick fix. Everytime a user goes to a page using the webserivce.htc, the wp process will increase by a few megs until eventually throughout the day, the process needs restarted.

my question is, is there some kind of call i can make to de-allocate the memory the webservice.htc is using once the page url changes or after the webserice.htc is done? i'll attach my code snipped so you can see how we are implementing it now.

i tried using
myPBehaviorID = document.all.service.addBehavior("/CommonFiles/webservice.htc"); and    document.all.service.removeBehavior(myPBehaviorID);

instead of this -

but it still has the memory leak.

thanks
