Description Ben Hutchison 2004-04-21 08:01:56 UTC 
Twice today while performing a substring Find-In-
Files search of a medium-sized codebase on a 
machine with 128mb RAM, Netbeans has frozen up 
and I have needed to restart.

The first time, I was running with heap size set 
to 80mb, and the search process kicked off disk 
thrashing that lasted 25 mins, without an end!

Later on, having extended the heap back to the 96 
default, I did another search which only caused 
moderate disk activity, but consumed 100% CPU. I 
successfully pressed "Stop search" button a few 
times but the search didnt terminate after 5 
mins. 

I was not able to find anything relevant in the 
IDE logfile, eg related stack traces.

Seems that something is running out of control, 
or is the search process generating a stream of 
garbage that is causing the GC to thrash on this 
low memory machine?

This is a duplicate of bug #19484 - "OOME when performing search on
larger FS".

See also bug #41445 - "search on disk root seems to be leaking memory
even when no matching item was found".
