Description
Some of the applets are still throwing "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" when page is refreshed or reloaded multiple times.
Scenario I:
Try loading the following applet inside the browser,  If on refreshing the page java.lang.OutOfMemoryError exception is getting thrown then bug is reproduced:

http://sqeweb.sfbay.sun.com/deployment2/jitu/plug-bug/ALC/MemoryTest.html
or
http://nicole1.sfbay.sun.com:8080/plugin_tests/JNLPSupport/DnD/ALC/MemoryTest.html

Note: In this particular test we are defining a byte array, if we set array to null inside the destroy method then no "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" is getting thrown.
