The function
./src/share/native/java/io/io_util.c:writeBytes
leaks memory if the stream is closed and more than 8kb of data is to be written

Self-explanatory shell transcript follows:

 $ cat ioLeak.java; echo ---; (ulimit -v 200000; jver 7 jr -Xmx6m ioLeak)
import java.io.*;

public class ioLeak {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
        FileOutputStream s = new FileOutputStream(new File("foo"));
        s.close();
        for (int n = 0; n < 10000 ; n++) {
            try { s.write(new byte[100000]); }
            catch (IOException e) { /* ignore */ }
            catch (OutOfMemoryError e) {
                System.out.println(n);
                return;
            }
        }
    }
}
