Thanks. This seems to point out two things:

1) There is a huge allocation (2MB+):
   <GC: Alloc attempt for 2209016 bytes failed.>
   at this point in the code:

    // REVIEW: Using max instead of average may allocate a very large
    // buffer.  Maybe we should do something more efficient?
    int remaining = in.remaining ();
    int n = (int) (remaining * maxBytesPerChar ());
    ByteBuffer out = ByteBuffer.allocate (n);

  I believe that REVIEW note gives us a hint :)

2) JamVM has fragmented its heap so much that it cannot allocate such a
   block of data even though there is enough space in total:
   <GC: Largest block is 2087448 total free is 778822576 out of
    943718392 (82%)>

   Or am I reading the output incorrectly?

Cheers,

Mark
