Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM version 1.6.0_07-b06-57

Garbage collector: Name = 'Copy'
Garbage collector: Name = 'MarkSweepCompact'

These are the defaults running on Mac. Yes, this is the Apple JDK, but 
we've reproduces these issues under Sun/OpenJDK as well. I'm really just 
trying to figure out *why* all this stuff is sticking around, and the 
soft reference has been my first solid lead.
