I have just completed a java installation from source as well and got
the same error. Setting "ulimit -d 400000" cleared that error for me;
try a higher value.
I ran into similar problems with jdk-1.5.0p21 on -current. After
troubleshooting with Kurt for awhile we were never able to figure out
why I had to do this little wrapper script:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cat bin/firefox.sh
#!/bin/csh
/bin/csh -c unlimit
/usr/local/bin/firefox &
Setting ulimits in sh never worked for me. When I saw the unlimit
command in csh I figured what the hell I'll try it and it worked.
