Grip running out of memory

Restarting the robot should kill all instances of GRIP. It'll start back up again if you deploy or if your robot program automatically starts GRIP.

Also, as a general response to this thread, I've found that some extra JVM options (-Xmx50m -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError) help with OOM errors. The next release (v1.2.0) will have these by default, and allowing custom JVM arguments when deploying.
