This could be VM differences. 64 bit vs 32 bit maybe.
JDK 7 is 64 bit only. If you are explicitly constraining memory that 
could well be an issue.
If  you are using defaults you might want to see which VM you were using 
with JDK6.
If it was 32 bit, toggle it to 64 bit and see if the issues occur there 
as well.
