Did you mean "when not forking"? I don't understand it otherwise..
To be sure that we're talking about the same thing I'd like to underline
that
I meant javac ant task, not the iajc

Well, forking does the job. I added the following compilerarg tag
<javac ... >

<compilerarg line="-fork -Xmaxmem 400M"/>

</javac>

and it works. Thank you for your advice. Can I do anything to help find
this bug?
