guice-servlet+guice-persist -- Memory leak

[gissuebot]

When a simple guice servlet application is created, e.g. following the example in the wiki ( https://code.google.com/p/google-guice/wiki/ServletModule ), it can be deployed and redeployed several times without problems.

With the usage of guice-persist a memory leak occurs. This happens as soon as the following two lines are added to the configuration class:

install(new JpaPersistModule("name"));
filter("/*").through(PersistFilter.class);

On a running application server (tested with Tomcat) multiple redeploys result in a PermGen exception.

As a profiler reveals, several instances of Guice's own classes cannot be garbage collected after undeployment.

This was tested with guice version 4.0-beta and 3.0.
