I use a bunch of parsers in the jGuru.com portal (can't remember if I'm 
doing any tree stuff though).  It runs for a month at a time sometimes 
w/o a problem, but who's to say how much it would have to leak before 
I'd notice.  I would say that ANTLR's pretty clean about leaving 
structures around holding objects in memory.
