(Slightly OT) Telling exactly which objects get promoted

[David Holmes]

At the risk of stating the obvious take a look at the various tools 
mentioned in the troubleshooting guide:

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/trouble/TSG-VM/html/index.html

jconsole, jhat, VisualVM ....

Hopefully one of those can assist.

Cheers,
David Holmes
