The last of the troubles in Mohans 20030522 solved

[Øyvind Harboe]

I found out how to stop jc1.exe from allocating 1.7GB.

I'm a bit puzzled that Danny saw this error at the same time as
me.

Q: do I interpret the GCJ manual correctly that specifying --classpath
will stop GCJ from picking up using the CLASSPATH environment variable?

#GRUDGE ON:

I don't like programs that install themselves all over the 
harddrive. I don't like the concept of global configuration
that applications modify during install.

The reason is that they can screw things up.

#GRUDGE OFF:

After being mystified about jc1.exe trying to allocate 1.7GB
(and failing), I went back to hello world and it failed too.
However, it offered a much more useful error message.
