JVM heap reaches 1.3 GB

Hello friends,

I have a Tomcat which on startup pushes the java.exe to about 1.3 GB and never comes down. I have the min heap set to 512 and the max heap to 1.5 GB (max on windows). On another similar machine, the java.exe on Tomcat startup is seen to be around 230 MB. Not sure what is causing the memory to shoot upto 1.3GB on the first machine.

Any assistance in this would be greatly appreciated.

Tomcat: 1.4.2_12.

Thanks,
