Re: Tracking down unwanted object retentions that are eating memory

Actually, suggestions of profiling/debugging/whatever utilities was what I was angling for, but the whole situation just became moot.
It seems that I stumbled over the memory leak quite by accident, while looking up something else. It seems that we were intern()ing a large number of very long (like in 40kb each) strings BEFORE trimming them to their "active" length. And I discovered what a huge waste of both time and space it is, to intern() a string, then throw out the version you'd intern()ed. 

Oops!
