Ok, thats probably my terminology not being correct. What I meant when I said
the heap was increasing, was the value of Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()
- Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory(). I suppose I should of said heap usage
was increasing.
My mistake - should be more careful!
I'm increasing convinced that its something to do with using GlobalAlloc
rather than the alternative - VritualAlloc?.
