is anybody investigating the blatant memory leaking issues with the antcall
target?

I'm using 1.5.1, and my build was running out of memory without any javac
invocations.  All together, it would have made about 75 Ant and/or AntCall
invocations.  I had to break it up and call it from a batch file to avoid
the memory problems.  Not a pleasing solution by any means.

This is more likely a memory leak than anything else.

-use java1.4 or fork javac (it leaked in 1.3)
-use ant1.5.1 that fixes leaks related to <ant>
