Thanks, Saptarshi.

So Tom, it seems to me that the Java that comes on our machines is 1.6
update 11 (you can type "java -version" in a command prompt to verify this).
So you could try installing the latest update, as Saptarshi suggest.

And, you can also try adding "-XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit" to the JAVA_OPTS
environment variable and restart the server.
