CMS collection keep working during holiday

[Y Srinivas Ramakrishna]

The mention of class loaders below reminds me to remind you that
CMS by default will not collect class objects. To force CMS
to collect classes in the perm gen, you would want to
-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled. Try to see if that made any
difference to the apparent inability of CMS to collect
those apparently otherwise unreachable objects.
