FULL PRODUCT VERSION :


ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows ver 7 32-bit

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Windows 7 PC connecting to Windows 2008 Server to launch Windows 7 RDP session

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I have a Java application that I am running on a computer (COMP-A). I have another computer (COMP-B) that I use to remote into COMP-A using Microsoft Remote Desktop in order to use that Java application. Both computers are running Windows 7. Whenever I am logged in, the application behaves normally using ~100 MB of memory and ~3% of my CPU. The problem is when I lock the screen, minimize or disconnect from the session, the CPU usage of said Java application immediately spikes up to ~20% and the memory leaks nonstop (I got it >700 MB but stopped it at that point as to not crash the system).

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Used Windows RDP on Machine 1 to login to Machine 2
2. Start .jar application on Machine 2
3. Lock screen, minimize or disconnect RDP session
4. Memory usage will increase beyond -xmx values

Similar to situation described here:

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I expected the memory usage to stay within the expected bounds and behave normally
ACTUAL -
Memory usage exceeded -xmx values and would continue to climb, ultimately causing the PC to lock up and prevent any future RDP and local logins. PC would need to be restarted.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
This does not appear to be an issue if the .jar file is launched by a local user (i.e. not through RDP).
