The problem is using jdom with jdk 1.4.1_01 from sun. In this jdk there is a
bug in StringBuffer which causes a Memory-Leak when reusing a StringBuffer
instead of creating a new one. There is a Bug in internal setLength-Method
of StringBuffer which is described in the mentioned bug. The guys of sun
suggest to not reuse StringBuffers with jdk 1.4.1. So I wanted to patch jdom
but no sources are available.
