Virtual Memory Leak

843811Jul 8 2003 — edited May 2 2006

In the course of tracking down a memory leak I've managed to start recollecting memory, but for some reason the process still refuses to free virtual memory. I'm just looking at the task manager and after a long period of memory use and then a garbage collection I get numbers like:

MemUsage: 31,000k
PeakMemUsage 393,000k
VMSize 700,000k!!

And the VMSize just keeps going up. Does anybody have any ideas about what would cause this? OptimizeIt just reports that the Java Heap is hunky-dory and make it look like everything is fine.
