With the upgrade you essentially have another webapp running, i.e. SOLR,
which means your instance will need more memory. More for when doing a lot
of work, and more to be permanently used i.e "permgen". When I've performed
large batch processing (converting and importing old log files), I've bumped
up my max memory for tomcat/java and increased the permgen. I'm not sure if
there is something triggering solr to jump "over the edge" in your case, but
after I've allocated more memory to java/tomcat, problems just go away.

Thus for me it would be: edit /etc/init.d/tomcat6
JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx1536M *-XX:MaxPermSize=128m*"

or, however you normally set JAVA_OPTS
