<AWT Dev> [10][JDK-8175015] FileSystemView.isDrive(File) memory leak on "C:\" file reference

Hi, Krishna.> The problem is internally, Win32ShellFolderManager2.java, 
the function

If for each query we list the files in the drive and *throws* all of 
them away, then why(and where) we have a memory leak and as a result OOM.
