jvm memory - bizzare

[Alexandru Bradescu-Popa]

We have a jrun server running on the jvm from sun 1.4.2-08. The OS is a Mandrake Linux.
from time to time we see this exception:

Exception in thread "CompilerThread0" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested 57344 bytes for ExceptionRangeEntry in /export/jdk142-update/ws/fcs/hotspot/src/s
hare/vm/code/exceptionHandlerTable.cpp. Out of swap space?

there is a lot of RAM available, and a lot of swap also.
I mention also these flags:
-XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:NewSize=96M -XX:MaxNewSize=96M -XX ermSize=128M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -Xms1516M -Xmx1516M

Any hints, or directions of what is this all about?

Here's a bug report that might be related...

Since this isn't really a "JSP"-related topic, I'm moving it to a better forum... though it is a question as to which forum is "best" here... maybe "Performance" - since it appears this problem is related to GC, JIT compiler options,etc. - that forum is probably the best place for it...
