java - Is there a jvm argument that causes the jvm to create an hprof file when the jvm starts up -

one of our testers keeps getting small hprof file created on windows environment when starts our application.

• the hprof file showing on windows instance. other testers aren't seeing this
• the hprof file appears every time starts it.
• the hprof file small (45mb). there no outofmemoryerrors or useful in hprof file matter.
• the jvm doesn't exit
• the application works fine on installation after startup.

is there jvm argument can specified @ startup (in case, through environment variable) creates hprof file @ startup? know if specify cpu=samples create 1 on exit.

i'm reasonably convinced system setting. have no idea one. running oracle's jre 1.6_024 , jvm running part of startup of tomcat 7.
