max and min heap to same value, fixed memory leak problem !?

Hello,

Recently, we have had a memory leak problem in an application server.

We had the jvm parameters -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m.

To simplify the analysis, I changed this to -Xms2048m -Xmx2048m. So, no heap resizing. (we have jdk 1.4.2_05)

Weird thing is, since doing this, we don't see the problem. Could the change have somehow 'fixed' the problem?

Bug athttp://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4697804

...looks related, but not exactly applicable. For a start, our jvm did not actually exit, just gave lots of OutOfMemory Errors.

thanks!

JM
