Memory leak with Sockets?

Thu Oct 30 21:13:00 GMT 2003

This took a while to find. Problem is that I had to debug a commercial 
API to find the leak. I was wrong in assuming it had to do with Sockets 
OR the streams. The leak is being caused by the creation of Calender 
instances. Heres a fast example:
while (true)
{
<msg00319.html>java.util.Calendar calendar = 
java.util.Calendar.getInstance();
}
The garbage collector is unable to reclaim the memory allocated by the 
getInstance method. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
