Niall Pemberton resolved IO-161.
--------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 1.5)
                   2.0
         Assignee: Niall Pemberton

I have copied the code from BeanUtils MemoryLeakTestCase to try and force 
garbage collection. Hopefully that will be more successful in ytour 
environment, but if not then it should now throw an exception rather than 
hanging

> The following code in FileCleaningTrackerTestCase never exits, hanging the 
> whole compilation/testing process:
>     private void waitUntilTrackCount() {
>         while (theInstance.getTrackCount() != 0) {
>             int total = 0;
>             while (theInstance.getTrackCount() != 0) {
>                 byte[] b = new byte[1024 * 1024];
>                 b[0] = (byte) System.currentTimeMillis();
>                 total = total + b[0];
>                 System.gc();
>             }
>         }
>     }
> It is clear that in theory this code might loop forever, as the allocation of 
> the byte arrays might never unleash a garbage collection complete enough to 
> deallocate all marker objects, so to bring the track count to zero. Believe 
> me, it's not only theory :).
