If there really was 6993664 bytes free at the point of the crash then it
does seem a bit odd. How confident are you that this represents a true
figure at the point of the crash (you could try catching OutOfMemory
exceptions and printing out the heap size).

Have you tried varying the stack size as well as the heap size?
