Cyclic reference is creating memory leak

[priyanakk24]

Cyclic reference between ObjectInputStream and BlockDataInputStream. One object should be holding a weak reference.
A single cyclic reference is creating huge memory leak because ObjectInputStream has been used in our code in many classes.

This fixes will really help to solve a big memory leak.

Would you please a short Java snippet that demonstrates this problem? I'm not sure how your app is using these two classes.
