memory leaks?

[Srinivas Ramakrishna]

Just a quick question in case any one might remember off the top of their
head...

Are there any native memory leaks that may have been fixed in JDK 7 and 8
that haven't yet
been backported to JDK 6uXX?

No need for any research... just a quick check to see if anyone recalls
anything recently that
fixed native leaks... i'll go check the hg logs momentarily to see if
anything jumps out.

I am suspecting some 64 M segments that I see in pmap, and am yet to figure
out when and where
these are coming from... The leak is abrupt and likely the result of a
rather rare/infrequent event.
I'll see if I can find a DTrace that works on Linux and log mmap/munmap
calls to get more info.

thanks for any (even very vague) pointers.
