java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested bytes for GrET in growableArray.cpp. Out of swap space?

Did you get an OutOfMemoryError while running jhat?

This is a bug. Check your jdk version and upgrade to anything more than jdk1.6v22.

Details:-

If you have encountered an OutOfMemoryError while running jhat and you are sure that the system has enough memory, it could be due to a bug in java. I encountered the following error while trying to get details of the heap dump (heap.bin).

C:\> jhat -J-mx1024m heap.bin
