I've had that before, but not sure why it happens. Perhaps a garbage
collection issue???
You probably want to look at the System.runFinalizersOnExit(), or
System.runFinalization(). The
first will force the finalize methods of unreferenced objects when the program
exits. The second
will force the finalize methods of whatever currently unreferenced objects are
hanging around
waiting to be, err, trashed.
The JDK1.1 has these static methods in both the Runtime and System classes.
It appears that the
System finalizer methods are simply wrappers for the Runtime methods.
