We had similar(-ish, but the opposite way round) problems with the JVM's GC, while interfacing it to a COM component we needed to use. Instead of releasing objects before we wanted, the GC was holding onto COM reference wrapper objects long after their lifetime was over (because the objects were small, so the GC wasn't experiencing any memory pressure). This meant that the actual COM objects weren't being released, so were exhausting memory outside of the JVM :-/

GC works fine for memory allocated and used solely within the containing virtual machine environment - anything slightly more complex, and you're dicing with death (of your hopes and dreams).
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p
