EVALUATION Cu's application is running out of memory on 32-bit. They're putting aside 2gb for java heap and leaving very little room for c-heap. Since their app is heavily multithreaded and socket io intensive we believe they're exhausting available memory. (pmaps show almost full usage (approx 2.8gb) within 4 hours before the problem. Another issue they were worried about was failed promotions leading to full cms gc's. We've recommended a smaller java heap and the parallel collector to alleviate both concerns. We're pretty confident there is no jvm issue here, as such I'm reducing the priority of the escalation pending results from our suggestions.
