And yet, I have objects where I log the finalize call but find, when looking at the heap dump, those objects are gone even though I never received a finalize log for them. I also have custom ViewGroup objects where the memory analyzer tells me that the only references are from it's children, and yet these objects are never freed (this appears to be the source of my leak).
I am somewhat baffled as to what is going on here.
