A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Opening a large zip file (larger than specified -Xmx size) with

   new
java.util.zip.ZipFile("large.zip")

causes an
OutOfMemoryError.

It appears that the jvm is trying to mmap the entire file.

Here is additional info from "strace -f java ...":

The memory allocations fails in Sun 1.4 at

open("test3.zip", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 5
fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2037717101, ...}) = 0
_llseek(5, 0, [2037717101], SEEK_END) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 2037717101, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 5, 0) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)
close(5) = 0
write(2, "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError", 26

The bytecount there is the size of my zipfile and I have no idea, why
the Java-VM calls mmap(size_of_zipfile) there, which means it can only
handle zipfiles which fit into system-memory.

This was tested with different Java-VMs and a ZIP-file of 1.9 GB size.
The results:

Sun 1.3: works
Sun 1.3.1 (release 2): fails, but works with -classic Option
Sun 1.4.0: fails (no -classic option available)

i.b.m.'s jre 1.3: works

Blackdown 1.3: works
Blackdown 1.3.1: fails, but works with -classic

The call used was without any options: java LargeZipFile test.zip

System:
Pentium III
Mem: 256 M
Swap: 512 M

Debian Linux (woody)
Kernel 2.4.18
libc-2.2.5
libpthread-0.9




REGRESSION. Last worked in version 1.3.1

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. create a large zip file
2. start test program


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
expected:
    instantiation of a new ZipFile object
actual result:
    
OutOfMemoryError
