Possible progress: In my open "TechQA" question with IBM on this topic I got a "new" option to specify in the Java options, and I am now recording verbosegc output in readable form.
The option is -Xverbosegclog:filename where filename is a file name of one's own choosing. Maybe this is the "something" that another poster couldn't remember having to do? -jc- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
