Yes, I've seen that situation too. Typically, there will be several 
requests all getting out of memory errors at the same time (since 
nearly everything in Java makes requests to the allocator).

That is a little strange but I believe you (because you are not the 
only person to have monitored memory usage and observed that same 
behavior). I'm not entirely sure of a suitable explanation for what you 
are seeing but I'm having a conversation with some folks internally 
about this. My experience has been that if the system hits an out of 
memory error and then you stop accessing it for a while, it finishes 
garbage collecting and recovers fairly well (we've load tested CFMX to 
that point and had it recover properly several times). Mind you, 
watching the memory usage on Solaris we *have* seen it hit the high 
water mark at the point of error.

I don't know. That behavior doesn't match what I've observed on 
Solaris. I'll continue to follow up internally and post any further 
information that I can.
