Please evaluate the attached applet programs again.

I filed a memory leak issue as bugid: 4316856,
but this was closed due to dup. of 4249798.
Then I tried the JRE1.2.2 and 1.3 as the comment of 4249798
recommended.
However, it does not look fixed completely.
Although GC recovers memory space whenever it runs,
the consumption of memory is increasing overall.

1. Configration

  1.1 Plugin(JRE)
     - JRE1.2.2 :
         java version "1.2.2"
         Classic VM (build JDK-1.2.2-001, native threads, symcjit)
       
     - JRE1.3 :
         java version "1.3.0rc1"
         Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0rc1-U)
         Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0rc1-S, mixed mode)
       
   1.2 OS
       Windows NT (SP3) / Windows95(OSR2)
             
2. Reproduction
  This is the same to bugid: 4316856.
  Please see the description and use the program files
  attached to 4316856.
  
3. Note
  3.1 Use memory
     Use Memory is culculated by (Total space) - (Free space).
       Total space : output of getRuntime().totalMemory()
       Free space : output of getRuntime().freeMemory()

               P122 : Plugin(JRE)1.2.2
               J118 : JDK1.1.8
               NT : Windows NT
