I also have encountered this issue. This happens rarely. When I quit my java app, it sill has not released the shell (the process is still running). I then used jvisualvm to monitor all the running threads in my application and noticed that Batik CleanerThread was still running.
I incorporated the patch. Will have to see if the issue reappears. -- View this message in context: http://batik.2283329.n4.nabble.com/CleanerThread-never-terminates-causes-leaks-in-webapp-tp2978944p3445621.html Sent from the Batik - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: batik-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: batik-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
