Might be interesting to know if it crashed on 20000 docs if you ran it with heap size of 512Mb. I guess you've already tried with default merge values. Shouldn't need to optimize after every 100 docs. jdk 1.3 is pretty ancient - can you use 1.5?
I'd try it with a larger heap size, and then look for leaks in your code. Maybe run the load program without the lucene calls and see if it still fails. -- Ian.
