I remember reading about a similar issue in the past and experienced the same issue as well. >From what i recall, but dont take my word for it, even if there is room in the heap and it isnt fragmented beyond belief, Dalvik first checks if the heap can be enlarged to include the needed space, instead of trying to use the space it has free.
Since you're already at 48MB, you've just pushed through the limit with the new needed allocation (regardless of the fact you have the space), and Dalvik throws the OutOfMemoryException. I had it happen to me as well. Only solution i've found? to never get the heap so large it sits on the edge (stupid bug, stupid solution, i know). I think Dianne Hackburn mentioned that, maybe a google search will find it.
