jdk-1_5_0_03-linux-amd64 out of swap space with NIS user

Hello,

i have a problem with the linux amd64 version of java 1.5 update 3. If
i'm logged in as a NIS user and i call "./java" from the
/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_03/bin directory, i get the following error:

Exception java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested 24 bytes for C_Heap:
ResourceOBJ. Out of swap space?

If i'm logged in on the same machine as a local user and i do the same,
it works.

What could be the problem?

thanks in advance
Carsten Sponsel

P.S.: I already had the problem with JDK 1.4.2.

Maybe there are process memory management restrictions for NIS users?

How can i check if there are such restrictions? Usually i'm logged in
as NIS user and i have no further problems with other applications.
Most of my applications running use more than 100 MB, i can't imagine
that a simple call to "java" uses more :-(

I've found the problem. The NIS user has the environment variable
MALLOC_CHECK_ set - that is used for some malloc debuggers. Removing
that environment variable i can run java without problems.

Why is that a problem?

What value was it set to?
