I have a java application which runs fine under XP ( blah )! Under Linux, on the same dual bootable machine I get an out of memory error. In watching the swap memory usage, It never exceeds about 400Mb total although I can watch it ramp up ass the java program loads. I know for a fact that the single theaded java applicatio program loads over 300Mb at initialization as I had to bump the Xm / Xs parameters up to that to get the program to run under XP. BTW: This is a huge geographic database program that loads lots of map tiles and geographic features, so its all or nothing situation. This program also rums fine on a Sun workstations. I found some references to simillar problems bo other people for other java programs, and there is a reference to the maximum size of a process set at 256Mb by default. I have seached the OS source code but have not been able to verify this restriction ( although I only had about 2 hours to look ). Couls someone verify this restrictions and point me to the area of the O/S source so I can look for a workaround? As always, all help is appreciated.
