Some ideas:
1) check your datasize ulimit for the login class of the user
tomcat is running under.
2) set the X malloc() option (ln -s X /etc/malloc.conf) and
see if you get a diagnostic message as to why malloc() is
returning NULL.
3) watch the java process memory utilization over time with
top or ps -l and look for increasing memory usage.

Correct

Nothing in particular comes to mind, but you could look through
some of Sun's docs at http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/index.html
