First of all, please try upgrading ESS to the latest v9 or v8 at least to see if the problem persists. If so, create a complete application dump of ekrn.exe using the Procdump tool by running "procdump -ma ekrn".

When you have updated to V8 or V9, try to activate pre-release updates, reboot, and then use your system as normal but check on ekrn.exe once in a while to see how the ram usages is. If you are still affected, then create the dump that Marcos request.
