If I understand your report correctly, that means you get only the initial
burst of [Loaded ... ] and no further [Loaded ...  ] with or without
[Unloading class ... ]matching the memory usage climbing? then it seems
really that we are triggering some JVM bug.

Have you tried with an older JVM? anyway is the code and minimal
instructions to reproduce the "disaster"
available ?
