Ville, Adding more memory to the Java virtual machine seems to help. run the java command with something like:
java -Xms128m -Xmx768m -jar path/to/build/fop.jar <arguments> The -Xms128m and -Xmx768m options set aside a minimum of 128m RAM and a maximum of 768m RAM for FOP. I believe the default allocation is around 64m. Far to little IMO.
