All [Pete, Andi, and Marc]

Thanks for the quick replies..

Are any of your implementations comparable in size to ours, running with
JCC?
How long have they been running? Are any running with windows server 2003?
Are they fully stable now [no restarts required?]

In addition to figuring out how to solve the issue, it looks like we should
be 
figuring out what problems we might have on the other side.

Thanks again..

Heh... we had the same problem at much the same point in development...
pushed 
our rollout back by about a month.  Not fun.

I'll second what Andi said... try the new JCC implementation.  We had
similar 
problems with PyLucene-GCJ, and while we were able to ameliorate them 
somewhat by fiddling GC/JVM settings, we never really solved the problem.  
Instead, we resorted to periodically restarting the process once an hour or 
so (which was desirable/acceptable for other reasons, but not great). The
GCJ 
memory allocator/garbage collector just isn't that great/mature.

OTOMH, I'm pretty sure you want to build with -DLARGE_HEAP or somesuch.
Don't 
remember what else we did. Really, try the JCC build. ;-)

That shouldn't be true... AFAIK, there's nothing backwards incompatible in 
2.5.  You may get a few additional warnings here and there, but everything 
should still work.
