APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Memory leak.
cleanup routines should use
entry.get_client_session_key().get_client_session_hash()
instead of entry.get_client_session_key() to remove entries
or call delete function in SessionHashTable

****************************************************************
Excess memory consupmtion and OutOfMamory exceptions may be
encountered.

An analysis of a heapdump shows a small number of
SessionHashTable objects containing a excessively large
(100,000 or more) number of entries which consume a large
portion of the memory available to the JVM.
Problem conclusion
The session cleanup algorithm was not finding all seesions
which required cleanup due to a failure in session lookup
logic.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fixpack 5.1.1.9 and 5.0.2.16. Please refer to the Recommended
