Java issue

My problem is different than either of these.  Java doesn't crash, and the
system doesn't lock up at all.  The compile fails with a java.lang.outOfMemory
exception, and drops me back to the shell.  As soon as it fails, the java
process drops out of top, and my system is fully operational.
