Bug #897
closedMemoryError after doing too many bright / dark references

Description
After doing about 10 different camear configurations, some large, some small.
Leginon logger says Reference acquisition failed: DE12 GetImage did not return array
On Main (defcon1) terminal:
Exception in thread Thread-64:

MemoryError: <unprintable instance object>
DE12 DirectElectronAPI_with_preexposure_delay,exe looks normal, no error message, nor does Leginon clients.

The most likely source of memory error would be on the "main" process,
because that is where the cache is for reference images. But this error
looks like it's coming from the result of a remote call to the camera. We will probably have to monitor the memory with task manager on decamera and try to reproduce. It makes me think there is a memory leak in their camera software, but then we should see it all the time, not just during reference acquisition.

Happened again for 512x512 bin 1 center dark image acquisition after a new session with a pair each of 4096x3072 bin 1, 2048x1536 bin 2, 1024x768 bin 4, 512x384 bin 8.
It brought down DE12 server and needed restart.
After restart, the acquisition is fine.

- Status changed from Assigned to Closed
I believe this was a problem in the DE software which was fixed by an update.
