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). I don't know if that can be caused by autoloads or not, though. Alessio
