Well, have you checked your OS's memory and swap settings yet? Because
each JVM uses its own completely separate heap space, it's quite easy to
run out of either physical memory or swap space -- once that happens, it
doesn't matter how big you set Java's heap size to be, because the OS
won't be able to satisfy it anyway.
A quick way to check the settings in your 7th setup is to start that one
*alone* on the machine. If that works, then there's nothing wrong with
your Tomcat settings. If it's really an OS/memory you'll probably have
this problem with *whichever* JVM you try to start last.
