OutOfMemoryErrors (memory leak) when using latest versions of Java 6 and 7

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Unzip the attached maven project
2. cd thumbnailator-test
3. mvn test 

Maven runs the test with -Xms256m -Xmx256m. It resizes a png file 100 times, 
then resizes a jpg around 40 times before throwing an OOME. You can also build 
and run an executable jar with 
mvn -DskipTests=true package
java -Xms256m -Xmx256m -jar target/jpegleaker.jar

This fails on Ubuntu, java-version
java version "1.7.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)

This works on Ubuntu java -version
java version "1.7.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_17-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
