I'd reconfigured GCJ to attempt to enable the GC_BACKTRACES functionality.
That lost my local change to force the use of GlobalAlloc (USE_GLOBAL_ALLOC).
We're testing on Win2000 boxes and they have real problems allocating/garbage
collecing the memory without this setting.
Re-enabling the use of GlobalAlloc results in a slow leak (from my simple
test) that means the heap increases quite slowly over time (taking 4k jumps I
believe).
I haven't run it to its logical conclusion yet...
Damn... I though you'd got it...
