Hi,

We are using Tomcat<http://www.coderanch.com/forums/f-56/Tomcat> 6.0.18 on 
Linux environment(Red hat Linux) for our production.
We have enabled SSL by deploying SSL certificates. We observed that, over a 
period of time, the memory consumption is increasing and we are facing serious 
performance issues.
I have taken a heap dump and analyzed it using 
Eclipse<http://www.myeclipseide.com/module-htmlpages-display-pid-1.html> Memory 
analyzer. What I found was, com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl objects 
are never Garbage collected.
The leak report by Memory analyzer is as follows:
2,996 instances of com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl", loaded by 
"<system class loader>" occupy 219,843,760 (62.76%) bytes
Upon drilling down, these objects are being held by finalizer method of GC.
I have got the following similar link:

Can anybody tell me if there is any memory leak issues exists with Tomcat 
6.0.18? I read somewhere that, the memory leak issue with SSL was fixed on 
6.0.20.
