We observe a native memory leak when repeating JDI operations from Eclipse in a debuggee JVM. See bug report for details.

AFAICT, this happens because we override methodSignature of a possible pre-existing request object. I am not sure if there is a better place to deallocate the signature.

Also, I am not sure how to make an automated test for this. We (that is, the customer that reported the problem) verified that the memory leak disappears with the fix.
