Summary: OutOfMemoryError when compiling

Initial Comment:
I first noticed the bug when compiling a medium sized 
project of mine--about 30 files in the project.  With no 
other programs running, I pressed "Compile All", the 
compiler output window stayed on the "Compilation in 
progress" line for a few seconds, and then this message 
appeared:

 Compile exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

I found this strange, as I had compiled just a few 
moments before with approx. the same number of files.  
Rebooting didn't help, switching to a computer with 
twice as much memory didn't help.  I don't know what I 
added from the last time I successfully compiled, but 
this problem is serious, as it means I cannot use DrJava 
as an editor.  

I then cleared all .class files and tried to compile a single 
file from my project--same error.  Windows Task 
Manager says that my memory usage during the 
attempted compile is well, well below the amount of 
physical RAM I have.  This particular test file uses 
generics a couple of times, whilst most all of the other 
files in the project use generics profusely.
