[BioPython] GenBank Parser and large files?

Hi,
I'm parsing some genebank files. When parsing large files it appears
the parser eats up all of my memory until nothing is left, i.e. it's
not possible to parse large files (>25 MB).
That's the way I do it:
>>> from Bio import GenBank
>>> fh=open(fname,'r')
>>> feature_parser=GenBank.FeatureParser()
>>> gb_iterator = GenBank.Iterator(fh, feature_parser)
>>> cur_record = gb_iterator.next()
Is there a way to circumvent this problem?
Thanks,
Stephan
