Alpha OutOfMemoryError

[Eduardo Takahashi]

Hi there,

I'm running a very simple app on Kaffe 0.8.1 with very different 
results on alpha and NetBSD.
_______________________________________________

import java.io.*;

public class myls {
    public myls() {
	try {
	    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
	    Process pr = rt.exec("/bin/ls");
	}
	catch (IOException e) {
	    System.out.println(e);
	}

    }

    static public void main(String[] args) {
	myls ru = new myls();
    }
}
_______________________________________________


With alpha_osf32 I got:

> kaffe myls
> java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
        at java/lang/Runtime.exec(line unknown, pc 14005d130)
        at java/lang/Runtime.exec(line unknown, pc 1400597ac)
        at myls.exec(7)
        at myls.main(17)

And with i386_nbsd1: 

> kaffe myls
> cat.class   date.java     ls.class      milis.java    myls.java~
cat.java      ksh.class     ls.java       myls.class    runtime.class
date.class    ksh.java      milis.class   myls.java     runtime.java

(That is the content of the directory)

/bin/ls is accessible in both cases. Changing the program to be 
executed to any other gives the same result on alpha_osf32!
Does anyone have a clue of what is wrong?


BTW, I noticed that running on java version "1.0.1" (Ported by OSF) 
I get:

> java myls
> 

what means that it does not redirect the output automaticaly. It is
necessary to include InputStream operations to get the output of
processes being executed outside the VM. Does anyone know if it is
part of the specifications?

Thanks,
