java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

Stacey,

If you have any hesitation at all about making these changes yourself, I would be happy to create a support ticket for us so I can collect a little more information and get a hold of your config file and make the changes for you.

Let me know.
