I am running JDK1.1.7 on a Linux machine. In my testing I have noticed that my memory for my Java process does not decrease over time. I posted a question about this before and someone responded that it was due to the fact that garbage collection in 1.1.7 puts memory back on the heap and does not return it to the OS. They directed towards a bug posting on the javasoft site (http://developer.javasoft.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4065018.html) which says this bug was fixed in 1.2 beta4. Can someone confirm that this bug would be the reason I would notice such behavior with the memory? Also is the JDK1.2 on blackdown beyond version beta4?
