Chuck,
As always, thanks for correcting my misunderstandings of the JVM and GC.

That's not true, at least not since JVM 1.2 came into use. Class
objects are discard

Oh, don't you worry, me
Others with more experience in the garbage collection may chime in, but
it's my impression that the garbage collection tends to have it's own
mind. You can try to force it, but that's no guarantee it will garbage
collect anything. I'd think your best bet is to clean out all the dead
in-house
