I'm trying to diagnose a memory issue in my Android app. I dumped an HPROF file and have it loaded up in the Eclipse MAT tool (see How to analyze memory using android studio). I'm now trying to make sense of the listed "Leak Suspects"
I'm wondering if the following is indicative of a real problem:
23 instances of "byte[]", loaded by "<system class loader>" occupy 5,504,576 (12.74%) bytes.

If so, how would you suggest tracking it down? If it's not, do you know what this byte data might be?
