Java often has misleading error messages. For example, on solaris machines the default ulimit used to be 24 - that's 24 open file handles! Yeesh. This will cause an OutOfMemoryError. So don't assume it's actually a memory problem, particularly if a memory problem doesn't particularly make sense. Just a thought. Steven J.
