Re: [gentoo-java] Memory heap size problem

[gnul <nullchar@gmail.com>]

You might try some other flags such as -server (which just uses a
different set of JVM defaults) as well as -XX:MaxPermSize

http://www.unixville.com/~moazam/stories/2004/05/17/maxpermsizeAndHowItRelatesToTheOverallHeap.html

You may also try to enable logging in the app or check the logs to see
if it is an OutOfMemory exception (heap) or a PermGen error.

There are also JVM flags such as -Xss and -XX:ThreadStackSize you can
play with too.

good luck.
