out of memory

[Richard Hall]

I've just begun using JDK1.1.6 on my Debian 2.0.29 machine, and the
compiler often, but not always claims to be out of memory.  top says:

Mem:   14324K av,  14020K used,    304K free,   8732K shrd,     92K buff
Swap:  32252K av,  17908K used,  14344K free              3616K cached

The compiler has bailed with close to 1M of RAM free.  The only things
running while this is happening besides a few xterms are X, Netscape, and
XEmacs.  Do I need to add more swap or what?
