OutOfMemoryError : Out of swap space

[Y. S. Ramakrishna]

You are likely out of C heap. If you have native code you
might want to check if there's a leak. The JVM also allocates
out of native heap and it is possible that a bug is causing
a leak of C heap space. You could see if you could run with
a 64-bit JVM and then monitor the C heap usage to see if
it shows evidence of unbounded growth.

Xms=Xmx will likely not make any difference in this case,
although a smaller Xmx might allow you to run longer by
possibly freeing up more virtual address space for the
C heap.

good luck.
