Re: [Swarm-Support] xmalloc error: is there a limit on object creation?

[Pietro Terna]

        Hi Steve,

        if you are using Java, you can increase the memory used by the VM 
with the parameter -X; add it in the line of the javaswarm script executing 
the 'java' command.

-Xmx400mx gives 400 Mbites of memoty to the VM etc.
