Python: 3.11 Saxonche: 12.4.2

My website keeps consuming more and more memory until the server runs out of memory and crashes. I isolated the problematic code to the following script:

import gc
from time import sleep

from saxonche import PySaxonProcessor


xml_str = """
<root>

Donec euismod orci quis pellentesque sagittis. Donec at tortor in dui mattis facilisis. Pellentesque vel varius lectus. Nunc sed gravida risus, ac finibus elit. Etiam sollicitudin nunc a velit efficitur molestie in ac lectus. Donec vulputate orci odio, sit amet hendrerit odio rhoncus commodo.</stuff>

while True:
    print('Running once...')
    with PySaxonProcessor(license=False) as proc:
        proc.parse_xml(xml_text=xml_str)

    gc.collect()
    sleep(1)

This script consumes memory at a rate of about 0.5 MB per second. The memory usage does not plateau after a while. I have logs showing that memory usage continues to grow for hours until the server runs out of memory and crashes.
