ProcessBuilder still leaking memory

[Ivan Gerasimov]

Hi Fabian!

The issue JDK-8054841 was due to failing to free natively allocated memory.
It wouldn't cause Java heap space exhaustion, so you must be observing 
something different.

Can you please provide some more details about your use case?

Sincerely yours,
Ivan
