I'm working on resolving the final few issues on an applet that
was written by someone else (that'd be new) and one that's been
very difficult so far is that on certain VMs (sun, mac 1.4) its
memory usage continuously increases, while on others (M$, mac 1.3)
no memory leaks at all. I've searched on google and also tried
commenting out areas of code, but haven't really gotten anywhere
with either approach.

Since the leak occurs only on some VMs and not on others, it seems
unlikely that the problem is in the applet, but it's a little hard
to believe that two independent VMs (sun & mac 1.4) would have the
same problem.

Anyone have any ideas how I might track this down?

Thanks,
Howard Rubin
