Correct me if I'm wrong here Barry [ I mostly am
]
GC goes through a semblence of running when it sniffs the programme's running out of memory [ well it may never run not even with the "System.gc();" cmd., as a matter of fact ].
My machine where I tried this upon is welllllll.... ' kinda souped up ', I've a over a Gig. memory. so maybe running this code snippet and doing some other overheads on this machine may be termed 'peanuts' in memory usurp terms.
once again, maybe pulling off some RAM from this box, may show me the 2 lines too...
It's all and remains a "maybe" after all....but that was just a thought.
well thanx again for dwelling onto this 'yet another kranky one from me'
