Re: Fix Central issue OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Check that!

I got a confirmation from IBM about the order.  Then I got another one.  
Then I got a notice that the images were ready to download.  Thinking 
that IBM had now rigged the CD order to trigger an FTP download,  I went 
back to the Win2K machine and saw a successful summary page.  It was 
hidden by the Java Console panel I had been watching for exceptions.  
There WERE the same exceptions in the Java console but the OutOfMemory 
Exception had NOT been thrown so I am going to assume the OutOfMemory 
issue is a JRE 1.5.xx issue (I did see a bug listed for 1.5.xx on Sun's 
site)

So, as long as you run 1.4.2.xx of the JRE it appears to work.

I wonder if the CD's will show up as well.
