(on OS X). I also don't see anything in the code that can potentially give
problems. I suggest you strip this down a lot more so you can isolate the
problem.

If in your original code you were making a lot of figures in one of those
for loops without explicitly closing them, that could perhaps be a problem.
But you removed all I/O and matplotlib related code already (except for
imports and some keywords).
