Stack Heap Error Messages Using 64-Bit Java

I got a new system so that I could take advantatge of the 64 bit capabilities recently adapted for expert lotto.
I have 8 gigs of ram in my system...but when I try to run expert lotto using 102,000 records, I get a stack heap error message.

How can I get rid of the stack heap error message and maximize expert lotto so that it uses it's available system resources more efficiently?

Thanks Stan...I'll definitely send you the error messages once I finish processing the predictions for Megamillions for Friday. That's using 100% of my CPU (I have an I7 processor, with 8 gigs or dram).

Stan:

I just sent detailed error messages from to the bug reporter for this latest heap error that I got while trying to use my estimates for 104,000 ticket history.

thanks for the error log. unfortunately, it isn't complete so i can't see what settings you use to start expert lotto. so let's start with some basic questions - do you use 64bit java to run expert lotto? if not, then the limit is about 1gb of memory for expert lotto regardless how much ram your computer has.

Actually, I solved the stack heap problem by reading Stan's entry on how to give java more available DRAM....so now my system can process billions of records of data...I'm up to 7 gigs at the moment. :) Thanks Stan.
