Problem description:
If there are many tasks like "db2 reset monitor all" and "db2

Local Fix:
The memory lack only happen when detaching the instance 
attachment. Keep using the same instance attachment to do the 
"reset monitor" and snapshot could avoid the memory leak.

Solution
After applied this fix the problem on memory leak of monitor 
heap won't occurred again when detaching the instance 
attachment.
