Problem:

  • Product: VBE 6.0
  • OS: AIX 5.3
  • JDK: AIX JDK 1.4.2

On AIX platform the VBconsole throws the following exception.

Unable to alloc heap of requested size, perhaps the maxdata value is too small -**Out of memory, aborting** *** panic: JVMST017:

Cannot allocate memory in initializeMarkAndAllocBits(markbiIOT/Abort trap(coredump))

Resolution:

You need to set the following environment variable before you start vbconsole.

export LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x80000000

There is more information on the IBM website on this environment variable
