I just wanted to check with the group to see if this has been discussed, since dumpdebugobjects is THE way to check for leaks. I'm a little concerned.

Actually, it's the OLD way to check for leaks. The Runtime object provides more information. But even it can't catch leaks in some kinds of allocations. You need an external memory-watching utility for that.
