Just two questions:
1. What is a reasonable number of heap sections?  I have 131 here.
2. What is a reasonable number of free lists?  I have 60, which have
13,000+ entries.


Paging Hans Boehm.  can you suggest ways to get the system to GC more
frequently?  Would doing so avoid this scenario?


Call _Jv_SetGCFreeSpaceDivisor(). I forget what we used to do, but bigger numbers cause it to collect more often. The default may be 5, but if you make it 20 or 25 you really reduce heap growth.
