Hi Andrew,

Not sure about the big files - it was one of my clients that came
across the issue initially.

In terms of server ram - the box I had this on has 2G (43M free at the
moment)  - but not sure how much would be assigned to the java VM - I
think there are some settings around this that mean it won't use all
memory.

As I said before - it's a bit of a wild theory - and I've no idea how
to prove or disprove it - anyone from MM have any suggestions?

Did adding this directory fix your problem? or are you still having it?

Cheers,
Mark
