actually, this is without jna.jar. I will add and see if still have same issue

Obviously can't have the entire box lock up. I can provide a pmap etc. if needed.

The Java heap seems fine but eventually the OS runs out of heap. In my case it renders the entire box unusable without a hard reboot.

If the memory is used for mmapped access the os can get it back later. Is the low free memory causing a problem ?
