Python script used by BigApps testing team aborts after
running out of memory when running Jython 2.1 interpreter
atop JRE in 1.4.1-rc-b18 on RedHat Linux 7.2. See attachment
for dying words of test run.

Scripts for running test that precipitated this failure are
available from me upon request.

===========================================================

Same script has now been run on Solaris, where a crash
occurred in a little under 50 minutes. See attachment
sol_err_2805.txt for output including stack trace.

At the request of Tom Rodriguez, I am adding the command line that this test
used to start the Jython interpreter on Linux and Solaris. It is:

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -client -verbosegc -Xincgc -Xcheck:jni -mx256m -Dpython.home=$JYTHON_HOME -classpath "$JYTHON_HOME/jython.jar:$CLASSPATH" "org.python.util.jython" "$@"

================================================================

Running interpreter atop java_g causes this test to fail much
more quickly than previously on both RedHat Linux and Solaris.
Test stops when an assert fails in the routine awt_TopLevel.c .
See attached file asrt_fail281.txt for full output of run.
Failures appear identical on both Linux and Solaris.
