Tomcat5 Memory Usage Growing

[Scott Battaglia]

Nicholas,

We were running CAS 3.0.2 in production from November 2005 - August 2006 
(just upgraded to 3.0.5) and never noticed a problem, and we experienced 
some pretty heavy loads.  We run our Tomcat on Solaris, so I don't know 
how that compares to the Windows version.
