FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_162"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_162-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.162-b12, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The "Java Control Panel" allocates 1GB of windows "Memory (Private Working Set)" per minute.
As the PC has 12 GB I let it go up to 10 GB.
This occurs in one of our Windows machines.
At least three other java aplications show the same behavior.

The issue happens when the application tries to open a socket and the connection is not established.

It is not possible to close the "Java Control Panel". It is necessary to kill the process.

Using the jstack.exe I see the application is trying to open a socket at:
java.net.DualStackPlainSocketImpl.connect0



REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u152

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Go to the "Windows Control Panel" and click on the java icon.


ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
After starting the "Java Control Panel" the "Windows Task Manager" reported more than 1G bytes of "Memory (Private Working Set)".
At this time the output of jstack.exe <pid> is:
