Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-5316:
-------------------------------------------
Not sure about 10.0.x and 10.1.x, but DERBY-4895 could be why the classes are
not unloaded in 10.5.x and 10.6.x. It matches the affected version numbers, and
some of the classes that can't be unloaded seem to have a ThreadLocal as their
gc root.

> After we're done testing an old version in the upgrade tests, its classes are
> still loaded in the JVM because the old driver is referenced in
> DriverManager. We should find a way to unload the old drivers so that the
> memory usage of the upgrade tests is reduced. Now we typically need to run
> with -XX:MaxPermSize=200M or similar options to work around this issue.
