Memory leak

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Archos 5 Internet Tablet Android 1.6

Force close after repeatedly running and editing a good script and after 
repeatedly switching between SL4A and other applications. The behavior suggests 
to me that there is s memory leak and while trying to learn about contexts I 
found this which might describe the problem:

I am noticing similar behavior on an ADP1 running Android 1.5.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Run script.py in background
2) Tap ongoing-notification to bring up list of running scripts
3) Select script.py.
4) Tap the ongoing-notification again.
5) If script.py is still running, GOTO 3.  Else, GOTO 6.
6) Check logcat; note out-of-memory messages, "Process 
com.googlecode.android_scripting (pid) has died" message.

You may have to repeat steps 3-4 a few times.  I've seen the crash after as 
many as 10 repeats or as few as 4.  The script I used to test this essentially 
does nothing; it opens a loopback socket and listens forever for connections.

See also attached logcat output.

I typically have an HTTP server and a mail user agent (SMTP, POP3, NNTP) 
running in Rhino. I wonder if this problem is related to sockets. I use the 
Java API for sockets.

I'm pretty sure it's nothing to do with sockets.  Doing the above steps while 
running the following script will also reproduce the crash, though it takes 
more switches before it crashes:

import time
while True:
    time.sleep(3600)

I agree that it probably isn't related to sockets.

Now that I can get logcat reports one is included below. This Archos 5 doesn't 
permit file upload.

I'm having to trim a great amount from this data to get the issue manager to 
accept it. I hope that what remains is useful.
