RMI method invocation leading to Memory Leak

My application uses RMI for communicating between two java processes.

I'm observing some kind of memory leak in one of the classes in RMI

library. When observed through OptimizeIT, I see a large number of

Object[] being created by theClassDefiner.defineClass() &

ClassDefiner$1().run().

These Object[] arrays keep accumulating, never get garbage collected.

Attached is the screen shot of OptimizeIT, which shows object allocation

hierarchy.

Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

The JDK version being used is, 1.4.2_05.

thanks in advance.
