A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Creating, packing and then disposing a JFrame leaks about 40 bytes/frame.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 6u31

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile test program and run it. Use jconsole to monitor memory.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
No memory leaks when running this.
ACTUAL -
Heap use (after GC) goes up very slowly (about 3 MB/minute on my system). It may take running this at least 10 minutes to notice the increase.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
