RE: dimgrobhelper question
When the program source file is parsed and the ICON keyword is hit, a bitmap containing that content is created. It won't ever be deallocated unless you recompile the source and remove the ICON data, or have a compilation error, or reboot the calculator. The bitmap remains in memory for use.

It was mean to give the abiltiy to make an icon for things. However, people started using it instead to store large images...

Not a bug, just something being used for an unintended purpose that has the side effect of consuming large amounts of RAM even when (from the user perspective) it isn't in use.
