Yes, I see this behaviour too. Even after statically allocating
"buf" and "output" (and remembering to output.setLength( 0) at the
start of read( )) and explicitly closing streams and connections
and even omitting the creation of the intermediate strings...i.e.
the mere act of reading is causing this increase!
Don't know what's causing it and I wouldn't venture a guess 
either. :-(
