The win_95 version of JWS appears to have one or more memory leaks. Try the following:

- Start up the Win95 System Monitor (note, this is not installed by default.
You may need to install it from the CD or download it from MicroSoft).

- Select Memory Manager: Free Memory and Memory Manager: Swapfile in use as the
quantities to monitor.

- Start up JWS. Load the following program:

public class MorePrimes {

    /**
     * Constructor.
     */
    public MorePrimes () {
    }

    public static void main(String args[])
    {
long [] primes = new long[10000];
primes[0] = 2;
primes[1] = 3;
int count = 2;

long number = 5;


int len = primes.length;
outer:
for( ; count < len; number += 2)
{
long limit = (long)Math.ceil(Math.sqrt((double)number));

for(int i = 1; i < count && primes[i] <= limit; i++)
if(number%primes[i] == 0)
continue outer;
primes[count++] = number;
}

for(int i = 0; i < primes.length; i++)
System.out.println(primes[i]);


    }
}

- Build the program. Do several more Build -> All's. Note that memory/swap
used by the builder is not returned to the system when the build is complete.

- Now, run the program. Note that the console window appears to be taking up
lots of memory/swap and is not returning it to the system. Successive runs
make the drain on system resources worse.

- Note that Win 95 appears to grow it's swap space dynamicly. It takes it from
the system disk. If you're realy patient, or your system disk is almost full,
you will eventually get a message that JWS has performed an illegal operation
and will be shut down. If you click details, you will get something like:

The only work around is to shut down JWS periodicly and make sure your system disk does not get too full.

Instead of the above page fault, you might get:
