Massive Memory Leak!

I just had Adobe Reader crash giving me an "Out of Memory" error. This seemed odd since I have 3GB of RAM. I checked it out, and indeed, as I scroll around the document I was viewing, the reader was grabbing more and more memory (and getting rather sluggish also). The document was a 14 MB music file which I suspect is just images. However after only a minute of scrolling around it the Adobe Reader would often be using over 1 GB of RAM!

Has anyone else experienced this?
Is there a fix?
How can this be reported to Adobe?

My System:
P4 2.8 GHz HT
3.0 GB RAM
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (128 MB)
Windows XP Pro SP2
Adobe Reader 8 (8.0.0.2006102300)

Thanks,
Brien
