Fix Central issue OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

I was trying to order the latest CUME using fix central and I am getting weird stuff going on. The first few steps of selecting the OS version, PTF types, logging on to my System i, etc, go well. Then I get to the page that "processes" the order. Then it hangs. At first I thought it was something wacky with Firefox but I get the same result with IE. I noticed the Java console running and here is what I see (at least the last few lines): 
..............
DELTA[1]  SI25843 INCLUDE
DELTA[0]  SI25867 INCLUDE
DELTA[8]  SI25868 INCLUDE
DELTA[5]  SI25858 INCLUDE
DELTA[9]  SI25876 INCLUDE

.... A bunch of these

com.ibm.esup.fc.client.processor.exceptions.AddClosedException
   at com.ibm.esup.fc.client.processor.WaitQueue.remove(WaitQueue.java:110)
at com.ibm.esup.fc.client.processor.delta.GroupFileDeltaProcessor$DeltaThread.run(GroupFileDeltaProcessor.java:96) 
DELTA[9]  DEAD ADD CLOSED
DELTA[5]  TL57016 INCLUDE

then.....

Out of memory? I went to task manager and killed any java processes. I reran Fix Central and it failed at exactly the same point. No Java processes were running. 

Eventually the summary page displays:

Summary
Download incomplete
Your order is incomplete.
java.lang.RuntimeException: updatePackages is null.

Failed to run Fix Central on the selected iSeries.
Any ideas? Memory leak from Fix Central? Workaround? I am using JRE version 1.5.0_06. Luis Rodriguez posted a similar issue back on Dec 26th but nobody responded. Luis, did you get it resolved?
