javaw.exe eating memory

807597Sep 3 2005 — edited Oct 20 2005
I'm running a particular piece of software called Mailloop that appears to use javaw.exe. After about 6 hours I see in Task Manager that javaw.exe has gone from using approximately 50 MB virtual memory to over 500 MB. If I terminate the process, everything drops back to a normal level (software quits as well naturally). I've read on other forums that this can happen w/ javaw.exe, but is there any fix?
