It seems object references are being maintained when running profiling for
memory analysis. When the sample code (below) is ran using the "Monitor
application" option it seems to consume only the nessasary memory, when ran
using the "Analyze Memory useage" option it keeps consuming memory until we get
"Exception in thread "Thread-284258" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space"

while(true)
    {
      Thread ref = new Thread(new Runnable()
      {
        public void run()
        {
          System.out.println("Running Thread");
        }
      });
      ref.start();      
      ref = null;
      Thread.sleep(1);
    }
