Brian Minchau commented on XALANJ-1999:
---------------------------------------

Daniel, 
Morris opened this issue and supplied the patch, which was reviewed by Christine. So this problem must fix the problem he opened the issue for. It isn't correct to say that it doesn't fix any problems.

Morris, 
is this patch applied to CVS? The issue is in "Resolved" status so I presume that it was applied. Please confirm one way or the other.

> Similar to bug 1844, this problem also became
> evident after the introduction of XMLReaderManager. The leak
> described by 1844 is an incremental leak, where the leaked memory
> increases over time, eventually resulting in an out-of-memory error.
> The leak here is less serious. Only one DTM is leaked per thread. In
> most cases it is unlikely to cause an out-of-memory error. 
> The problem:
> XMLReaderManager maintains a pool of XMLReaders and tries to reuse
> them across transformations. An XMLReader has references to the DTM
> objects because we call the XMLReader.setContentHandler/setDTDHandler/
> setErrorHandler methods in DTMManagerDefault. The references are not
> released after the tranformation is done. Therefore an active XMLReader
> always has reference to the last DTM it created. In multi-thread
> scenarios, we might use multiple XMLReaders, where each thread leaks its
> own DTM, adding up to a bigger total leak.
