"java -client -Xshare:dump -XX:PermSize=128m > $log.txt" as part of /var/lib/dpkg/info/openjdk-6-jre-headless.postinst seems to be the problem. Specifically, at least in my case, the problem is tied in with my use of sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=2 to avoid overcommiting memory. Changing back to the default with "sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=0" allows the install to complete with java reporting a peak virtual size of ~1220MB and a peak resident size of ~27MB. This system has 256MB RAM and a 1024MB swap. I'd be curious to know if having over 1220MB RAM would alleviate the problem even with vm.commit_memory=2.
