Re: Just realized that I probably have another memory leak in RPG calling Java

It just keeps getting weirder:

I got rid of the call explicitly freeing the DBMD . . . and it turns out it's still crashing. This time it crashes ON the call freeing the ResultSetMetaData.

Near as I can tell, at this point, the ResultSet on which I got the RSMD was freed earlier, but the RSMD was still there for inspection (at least in a test I ran yesterday), yet evidently can't be explicitly freed without crashing the JVM. And yet if I take out the explicit free of the RSMD, it works, and the "new" RSMD is definitely a different object from the old RSMD.

Would a series of Java dumps on my job tell me anything about whether the apparent memory leaks from failing to explicitly release my meta data objects is real or illusory?
