The file libjava/libltdl/ltdl.c come with gcc-java-3.4.5 is out of date. it
has a memory leak bug. Invoking Class.forName(String) against no exisiting
class in the default package (e.g., Class.forName("Foo")) hits this bug and
leaks some native memory.
Libtool version 1.5.12 (dated Feb 2005) or later contains a fix to the bug,
dated 2005-01-21 in the libtool's Changelog. Importing recent libltdl from
libtool should solve the problem.
