I am experiencing the same problem with tomcat 4.0.3. I have my JVM memory setting as -Xms=32 -Xmx=384 and running the tomcat on Sun Solaris 2.7, integrated with Apache 1.3.x through warp connector.
I have a JSP page monitoring the memory consumption at http://www.emerging-trade.pt/servlets/memory.jsp, The memory consumption pattern of the JSP shows the GC runs as you can see the increase/decerece in the free memory of the current heap size.
