> I haven't run into a memory problem but came across this bug in Sun's bug database and a number of people warning not to use deleteOnExit() in server code.
> According to http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4513817 each call to file.deleteOnExit() will allocate 1K of memory until the JVM terminates.  I have not had the chance to verify it, but I have raised this JIRA in case someone is tracking a memory leak in the future or someone has time to review our usage of deleteOnExit().
