CompilerThread0: OutOfMemoryError Chunk::new Out of swap space?

[Nitin Verma]

Hi Ivan,

$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_13"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_13-b05, mixed mode)

$ uname -a
Linux <hostname> 2.6.9-34.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Feb 24 16:54:53 EST 2006
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

JBoss is running with following options:
java -Xms1740m -Xmx1740m -server -XX:+UseParallelGC
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Djava.awt.headless=true
-Djava.library.path=/home/y/lib -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=/home/y/libexec/jboss/lib/endorsed -classpath
/home/y/libexec/jboss/bin/run.jar:/home/y/libexec/java/lib/tools.jar
org.jboss.Main -c pm

This is happening randomly on different cluster nodes.

Regards,

Nitin
