Memory leak when kerning is used on Windows

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version " 1.7.0_21 "
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)

java version " 1.7.0_21 "
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Font rendering or size calculation with kerning turned on leaks memory. (The problem does not appear on MacOS.)

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u17

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the program in the source code box, which essentially measures the width of a large number of strings rendered with kerning on.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
  Program completes quickly without consuming too much memory.
ACTUAL -
Memory is consumed rapidly. When run on 32-bit it will exit the JVM abruptly with an hs_err_pid-log, an example included in the error messages box below. When run on 64-bit it will " just " use a lot of memory.
