I think this is probably a Fedora problem but I'm curious if
others have seen it.
With straight out of the box Fedora 9 and Europa or Ganymede,
JEE distribution, everything is fine. One day, after running
Fedora updates, this problem started happening.
I'm using Sun's JDK 1.6u7 via a -vm argument to Eclipse.
This problem also happened with 1.6u6.
If I run Fedora updates, then Eclipse crashes after a short
while because it runs out of memory. This is with -Xmx1024M.
It worked fine before with -Xmx512M. I've reverted to a fresh
Fedora 9 image so that I can keep working but I'd prefer to run
updates because of security. Sometimes the JVM actually crashes
and there appears to be a problem with realloc().
I've tried it with a few re-installs of Fedora. It doesn't
matter if I run Fedora updates with pup or yum.
I'm thinking about switching to Ubuntu.

Try increasing the available permgen space.

No. I'm using Sun's JVM (JDK 1.6u7) and I'm not using the RPM's.
I just use the simple ".bin" unpack distribution. I believe it's
glibc that's been broken (errors in realloc()). Everything works as
long as I run a fresh install of Fedora 9 and don't run Fedora updates.
If I run Fedora updates, then the libraries go bad and Sun's JVM breaks.
It doesn't break immediately. I can usually run for about 10-20 minutes
in Eclipse before either Eclipse or the JVM crashes.
I'm considering Ubuntu, hoping they haven't put a borked glibc into
their distribution and hoping they do support sshfs (which I need).

Not sure where to ask. Also, I was just asking here if anyone else had
seen it. I wasn't really asking for a solution. Of course if someone
had a solution and shared it, that would be nice.
