[IDV #ORP-530314]: crash on startup

Hi Joe,

We've checked over your log and it seems as though you are running out of perm 
gen space (your log indicates that it's was to 99%). We've made some 
adjustments to the perm gen settings in the IDV that are reflected in the 
nightly build - you may want to try that out to see if it's any better.

Also, how much memory do you have available on your machine, and are you 
running other java programs when you try to run the IDV? Did you make any other 
modifications to runIDV.bat (like having it use your system version of java, 
rather than the jre distributed with the IDV?). Sorry for the questions...just 
trying to figure out what's going on.

Cheers,

Sean
