I would set JAVA_OPTS in the startup script you're using to start Tomcat. There are loads of emails on the list regarding this. This issue is common enough you should be able to google the archives for details and get loads of responses.
Fair point -- if you haven't enough memory overhead, then until the garbage collector kicks in to free objects up you will have a problem.
Also as others have suggested, check your code for memory leaks -- especially if it's not under load when it dies.
But hey, I thought one of the big selling points is that Java DOES NOT LEAK! Am I mistaken? Isn't it's absence of pointers its big plus? If it does leak then changing the heap size is going to be irrelevant. No matter how large you set it it will bite you in the bum eventually!
