Memroy leak with jdbc

Using this test case with 9000 interations I get this output:

used: 474,296 free: 1,557,320 total: 2,031,616 max: 67,108,864
....................................................................................................
used: 4,646,760 free: 3,643,544 total: 8,290,304 max: 67,108,864
=================
used: 4,607,728 free: 3,682,576 total: 8,290,304 max: 67,108,864

I have no idea why this memory leak is happening. It only happens with this one select
statement, not all select statements.
