nashorn properties leak memory

Adding and removing properties to an object leaks memory. A test program (adapted from node's test/simple/test-event-emitter-memory-leak.js) follows -

var Thread = java.lang.Thread;
var runtime = java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime();
var mb = 1024 * 1024;

var noop = function() {};
var map = {};

runtime.gc();
Thread.sleep(1000);
var before = runtime.freeMemory();
print('before ' + before / mb);
for (var i = 0; i < 16e5; ++i) {
  var name = 'a-pretty-long-event-name-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-' + i;
  map[name] = noop;
  delete map[name];
  if ((i % 1e5) === 0) {
    runtime.gc();
    print(' ' + (runtime.freeMemory() - before) / mb);
  }
}
runtime.gc();
Thread.sleep(1000);
var after = runtime.freeMemory();
print('after ' + after / mb);
print('leaked ' + ((after - before) / mb));

when run as 'jjs -J-Xms1g -J-Xmx1g leak.js' can be observed to increase its resident size steadily as the program progresses, and prints freeMemory which is seen as steadily decreasing -
