The symptoms you describe are very similar to a permgen leak. And I would like to point out that permgen is garbage collected, just as the regular heap, one of the previous answers has not been correct in that sense.
In order to discover whether you have a memory leak in permgen, download Plumbr <http://www.plumbr.eu> and find it out. The permgen leak finding functionality is free to use for two more weeks, so hurry up. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/java-lang-OutOfMemoryError-PermGen-space-tp4049182p4049743.html Sent from the Nutch - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
