VolanTest shows a massive memory leak with JDK b16, a leak that is not present in b15.
Switching the JVMs (b15's jvm and b16's jvm) made no difference. That is, the leak is not reproducible if b16's jvm is dropped into build 15, on the other
hand, vtest runs out of heap space within 20 minutes if b15's jvm is put
into build 16.
I am not able to narrow it down to a specific component of libraries because
simply putting b15's jdk into build 16 won't work and vice versa.

The leaks shows up only on on machines with large numbers of CPU's, leading to
some suspicion that concurrency may be essentially involved in the code that harbours this bug
I have tested vtest on E450 ( against b16/17/18/19/20) and this problem never happened.
The problem was first found on a E6800 ( 12 cpu * 1050MHZ )
