Description

After upgrading from fop 0.20.5 to fop 0.95 our web application crashes after generating about 15000 small size pdfs (max. 1-12 pages) with the following exception: (number of bytes varies)

Exception java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested 65536000 bytes for GrET* in /BUILD_AREA/jdk1.5.0_10/hotspot/src/share/vm/utilities/growableArray.cpp. Out of swap space?

Before crashing used heap and process memory are growing slowly but continously. (USER_MEM_ARGS="-Xmx3072m -XX:PermSize=128m")

We already tried using newest xalan/xerces libraries (from 2.7.1 xalan distribution) and also applied bug fix from http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=698322 to our fop o.95 library, but this made no difference. And also using a fop trunk version built end of october did not help.

Profiling results regarding potential memory leaks are not yet available.
