Running hotspot with valgrind to detect memory leak?

[Neo Jia]

hi,

For fun, I just ran the hotspot vm with valgrind memory checking. To
my surprise, valgrind has identified several "memory leak" inside vm.
Although there might be some false positive, I still would like to dig
a little bit.

For your reference, you may get the log file from the following link
since it is too huge to send through a mailing list. This tiny log
file is generated by running helloworld.java.

Thanks,
Neo
