Comments
EVALUATION Another instance of the VM dying an ungraceful death when C heap is exhausted. At least the error indicates that, but it still looks like a crash.

EVALUATION The error is: # java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested 1024000 bytes for GrET in C:\BUILD_AREA\jdk6_10\hotspot\src\share\vm\utilities\growableArray.cpp. Out of swap space? # # Internal Error (allocation.inline.hpp:42), pid=1052, tid=8244 # Error: GrET in C:\BUILD_AREA\jdk6_10\hotspot\src\share\vm\utilities\growableArray.cpp which is simply C-heap exhaustion.
