The SQE test memleak_22 does
MemoryLeakTest::run: Check for memory leak by running EventClientAddListenerRemoveListener in a loop

Both failed because they timed out. But both printed a passed status and for some reason the code didn't exit right after that.
It looks like a thread was refusing to die.
Important: exactly the same test went well with JDK 5 and 6, only the JDK 7 run is hit.

The thread dump is :

MemoryMonitor::run: PASSED. No memory leak.
