Hi Joel, i appreciate your help.

I was running in development mode and it appears that this memory
bloat goes away when not using development mode.
We have been developing our application using older GWT (1.5.4 I
belive) so I'm used to using the old hosted mode.  I didn't realize
the in browser development mode might have this side effect.

The goal of this was to reproduce a memory leak that we have in our
application (when compiled, of course) using as simple a case as
possible, in the newest version of GWT, if possible.  I erroneously
thought this was accomplishing that.

Does the fact that this growth occurs in development mode suggest
anything about why I might see similar growth in a compiled GWT 1.5.4
application?
