In the past, we have seen VM exits that appeared
to be due to running out of memory (no OutOfMemory
exception - just a VM exit). A little digging on this
led us to the following bug report:

http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4697804.html

The specific problem described in this bug that concerns us
is the potential for the VM to simply exit when it can't
expand the heap, rather than throw an OutOfMemory exception
that would allow the application to continue and/or recover.

We are doing our best to work around this by following the
recommended practices of configuring enough swap and setting
-Xms equal to -Xmx. Unfortunately we can't really control our
customers swap configurations (can only make recommendations) and
so we feel compelled to use the Xms = Xmx workaround which is
really inefficient in many cases.
