memory leak - application exited with signal 9

I have an application which is dealing with many data structures, uiimageviews, videos, creating bit map context and so on. Every time the application is crashing on its continuous usage for a long time. The application is crashing with the memory warning --> Application exited abnormally with signal 9. What may be its reason. What does signal 9 means.

What is memory leak in Tomcat server?

Cause 1 - Memory LeaksBecause the PermGen has a finite size, reloading the flawed application just a handful of times can trigger an OutOfMemoryError, or OOME. Eliminating retained references to the web application class loader will allow Garbage Collection to function properly, preventing these errors.

I think this is due to the memory issue. Your app is using lot of memory due that is app is killed..
