You are dynamically allocating tasks and never deallocating them.
You will always run out of memory if you use dynamic allocation
without deallocation.

Apparently you are under the impression that the memory for a
terminated task is automatically recovered to the heap. This
impression is incorrect. Your program demonstrates the problem.

You should use Unchecked_Deallocation to recover the dynamically
allocated memory from terminated tasks.
