For client mode user will get the following error at execution time:
Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx3g
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

for server mode user will get the following error at execution time:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Dumping core....
Abort

the test machine in question has over 5gig of mem+swap. The above
error message would seem like the server version allows for the args
passed in: i.e. -Xmx3g but failed to allocate a heap of that size.

The Error happens when running the latest ladybird_baseline build 06.

Path to jdk: /net/sqesvr.eng/export/vsn/VM/ladybird/jdk1.3.1/b06/solsparc/bin/java
Path to testcase:
   I've attached the testcase to this bug report.
    or goto: /net/dogboy.east/tests/JTG-WORK-DIR/src/misc/32bit/quicklook/memory/TestHeapWalk

Steps to duplicate bug:
type the following command and wait, The System that you are going to run on
needs at least 4g of (mem + swap) combined. This test will run pretty slow
on a system with a low mem and higher swap sizes.

/net/sqesvr.eng/export/vsn/VM/ladybird/jdk1.3.1/b06/solsparc/bin/java (-client -server) -Xmx3g TestHeapWalk

SPECIAL NOTE: Does the documentation note the limitation of support in win98/NT and some win2000 release? What about linux, should this workas well? If a customer uses -Xmx3g on win98, do we tell them that
large heap support is not valid for this OS.
