I am developing an application which receives XML input taht is parsed and
stored in an InstantDB database.  The input is parsed as it is received and
then sends the objects created to a separate (high priority) thread which
stores them in the database.  The expected concurrency definitely occurs and
the objects, once stored in InstantDB are being gc'ed.

However, I am getting OutOfMemory errors with an input file as small as 1.5
MB.  This occurs when using Blackdown's JDK 1.1.7 v3 on an i386 with Redhat
Linux 6.0 and 128 MB of RAM.  When I use the new JDK 1.2.2 the problem does not
occur

The output  from the trace log seems to indicate that there should be plenty of
memory still available - here it is with the minimum heap size set to 8 MB and
the maximum at default (16MB):

outputThread java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: 


Anyone have any idea why this might occur?  If I turn of database storage then
the file is read through with no problems.  I've carefully reviewed my code to
make sure all ResultSets and Statements are closed and System.gc is called.
