Motivation or Problem
Significant memory leaks have been observed when using an rmg_env containing rdkit version 2019.03.4.0 as referenced in issue #1850. The issue is documented on the rdkit page rdkit/rdkit#2639
Memory leaks are not observed when using a more recent rdkit version of 2019.09.1.0 (and it looks like they've already released a version 2019.09.2.0)
Description of Changes
