I've recently been getting

; Evaluation aborted on #<JAVA-EXCEPTION java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space {2D9FD5EA}>.

I'm wondering whether it is possible that the recent changes to autoloading are filling more of this space, leading to my (and presumably others at some point) errors.

Well, unless you're using tons of Java libraries, PermGen exhaustion in ABCL pretty much implies a memory leak (such as many functions never getting garbage collected).

Either that, or a large system. For example, I had to increase PermGen for my experiments in compiling McCLIM. Rudi
