[MC-70829] ghast fireball glitched suspended in air causing ram usage to climb

a ghast fireball froze in midair and the ram usage for 3 players headed up to 2gb. I was able to find this glitch and deal with it but our pre-release 3 was completely corrupted and we reset. I am concerned that these glitches will not all be caught and this reset will be corrupted as well. thanks in advance

Any steps to reproduce ?

not for that specific glitch but we are having a terrible time with memory leaks, that was just the one instance i was able to catch. i turned off watchdog already. i mention that glitch with the fireball as it was one cause of our memory runaways. it seems there are other glitches/stuck items out there perhaps causing the leak? restarting the server did not clear up that fireball btw, only getting up there and killing it.

My question was more: How did it happen that the fireball was stuck ? Is this a new world or a world coming from 1.7 ?

oh, 🙂 it was a new world created @ 1.8 pre-release 3 after our old world was corrupted.

& the fireball just stuck, the ghast shot at a player and it froze in midair. no one was kicked, they said there was no lag at that time it just froze

Is this still an issue in the current Minecraft Snapshot 15w45b or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
