-Xmx---m getting smaller and smaller

Hi,

I have Windows XP SP3 with 4GB memory (I know Windows only allows apps to use
about 3.25GB.) I have no applications running. I ran System Mechanic 7 to
defrag the memory with the result of the largest contiguous block of memory
being 2.74GB.

However, everytime I started Eclipse 3.3.2, the JRE 1.6.0_04 JVM terminated
with a -1 code. I started at -Xmx1024m and continually decremented until I
reached -Xmx600m when Eclipse started okay. This morning I was running
Eclipse with -Xmx900m okay.

The only changes I made were to (1) set the system variable JAVA_HOME to
reference JDK 1.6.0_04 and replaced java.exe, javaw.exe, javaws.exe in c:
\WINDOW\System32\ with the JRE 1.6.0_04 files. They were 1.4.2_07.

Does anyone have any idea why the JVM terminates because of not enough memory
when there is more than enough contiguous memory? This is really
frustrating.

Thank you,
Don
