Howdy,
Perhaps you are experiencing higher load, which requires more memory.
Or perhaps your application does have a memory leak: those are possible
and occur in java, so yes that would a programming error on your part.
The garbage collector does much magic, but it can't save you all the
time.
When I said that surely it can't be a memory leak in my app I was operating under
the assumption that the JRE runs garbage collection periodically anywayis this not
true?
If I was waisting resources and not releasing them in a way that the GC could take
them back when it runs
Neal,

The GC is pretty much free to run whenever it wants. Often, it will not
run until you get very close to running out
