Please can you give us a recipe for provoking the bug using the sun jvm
(or better, a little program that just does the mmap).
[or are you saying that just running 'jave -version' a bunch of times
causes the issue? ]
 
I just strace'd the Sun JVM, and it appears that the only mmap failing 
is requesting a full 1GB of RAM, and that only inconsequential amounts 
have been allocated hitherto. Looking into this further, I've found 
evidence that there's a bug in Sun's 64-bit JVMs causing them to 
allocate much more memory than is needed: 
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=651637
...and, further, that "ulimit -v" isn't being set appropriately on this 
system on account of an administration bug. [Swap was enabled only 
*after* boot, whereas SLES calculates the default ulimit -v as a 
percentage of total ram+swap at boot time]. 
Oops; sorry for the noise.
