"Memory leak" in xpath evaluations

           Summary: "Memory leak" in xpath evaluations
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: org.apache.xpath
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Java heap memory is used up whenever evaluating an xpath expression on a DOM 
Document.

The 'leakage' goes away if the following lines in the constructor  
XPathResultImpl(short type, XObject result, Node contextNode)  
(XPathResultImpl.java) are commented out:

if (((m_resultType == XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE) ||
    (m_resultType == XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE))&&
    (contextNode instanceof EventTarget)) {
        ((EventTarget)contextNode).addEventListener("MutationEvents",this,true);
}
