Re: GC error

Again some context would have saved me this. I did read that, I also read
someplace else where the individual said that moving to JDK1.6.0_02
eliminated the problem i.e this problem never surfaced. So I was more
interested in knowing if someone else ran into this problem and upgraded or
started tuning the GC. I was NOT expecting someone to point me to a URL on
the Internet. Anyways I guess I should not mentioned this on my email. Will
state things in more detail the next time.
