Hi,
I have a java program running on Linux Debian using jre 1.6 (I have tried under 1.5 with excatly the same results). As the program is running as a service I have been watching the memory usage from within linux, as well as using JProfiler. When looking at it from the operating system using ps or top I can see that the is a small increase in memory consumption every hour and never decreases again (like a memory leak).
