This is computed by sysctl -n vfs.hibufspace / 8192 (on FreeBSD). So I
changed it to:

Realise also that unless you are running the 1.5 x86-64 build, java
will not use more than 1Gig, and if the app server requests more than
1gig, Java will die (I've been there) with an out of memory error, even
though there is plenty of free mem available. This can easily be
cause by a lazy GC
Well - to each his own I guess - we did extensive testing on 1.4, and
it refused to allocate much past 1gig on both Linux x86/x86-64 and
Windows.

People often have a mistaken notion that having near-zero free RAM means
they have a problem. In point of fact, that is the way it is supposed
to be (at least on Unix-like

Except for the fact that my Java App server crashes when all the

That's a kernel bug (or possibly a Java bug ;-)). I
