I have a specialized program that tends to be a memory hog and forces me to reboot every 3 days. Does anyone have any clues on how I can release the memory usage and start over without rebooting?

We are using NT 4.0 SP4 (we can't upgrade). The process is a system process and this is why we can't just end the process.
Like any other, I would suggest upgrading to SP6a as a start. What is the reason why you can't upgrade just out of interest? -----------------------------------------------------

Last time we tried to upgrade, the server had major problems. We use many specialized programs to run the assembly lines here and can't mess with them as far as down time. So, since all the programs were geared towards SP4, we haven't been able to really play wtih SP6 to get it working. This (at this point) isn't an option. Any other ideas?
