Hi, I'm experiencing the same problem that is mentioned in a thread from a while back on this list (http://lists.neo4j.org/pipermail/user/2011-March/007746.html). This was a case where someone had a thread running when they try to close the database and keeping having a dirty log with "INFO: Close invoked with 1 running transaction(s)". As far as I know I close every transaction I open. The response to the other poster was that there is no way to force all transactions to end before shutting down -- which leaves me with the question: what are the risks of leaving the code as is? And what are the best practices to avoid this problem? (again, as far as I can see all transactions are ended). Thanks, Kristen

I guess there must be a bug in the 1.4.0 REST API that leaks classloader memory or so, and GC didn't happen as expected in PermGen. Anyways, it looks great after upgrading to 1.4.1. Memory monitoring graph shows GC happens as desired in PermGen. Thank you!
