I used to see this all the time but recent kernels have been much better in handling out of memory situations. There is a little program in the gas testsuite that allocates 1 GB of memory and it used to crash my c3k all the time. The jc1 compiler is something of a memory hog. I've stopped testing java on my c200 because it takes forever to compile the library. Although the compiler adapts somewhat to the memory available in a machine, I have the sense that the current optimizations run best on machines with 1 GB or more of memory for data. Indeed, I think the relative performance of the 64-bit compiler is better than it used to be because of the larger address space and available memory. Dave -- J.
