Out of Memory Exception

[pinkduck]

JOSM 6060 is crashing for me after around 17–20 edit sessions using Bing and OS StreetView background tiles. I have uploaded a zip file of an .hprof file created by "-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError” option in the hope that the cause can be identified and resolved so that I don’t need to manually stop and restart the editor too often. I run JOSM with command line " -Xmx512M”.

Might want to bump up the memory you give JOSM. That "-Xmx512M" is very low and odds are, causing your problem.

Try boosting that to "-Xmx1024M" if you have enough ram on your computer and see what happens. ;)

That’s a workaround, but the actual problem is that memory after use is not being properly released. There's a bug somewhere there to fix, which could be analysed by looking at whatever the significant number of similar type objects are in the .hprof profile.

Can you please post your status info ? Knowing the list of plugins installed on your machine is important in memory leaks hunting.
