    Hello,

    Please update to the latest nightly build, as it should have some fixes in this area. You may also want to change the setting for how much permgen space to use, which can be done using the following flag to the VM: -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

    The permgen space is a part of the Java Heap that isn't garbage collected like the normal part of the heap, as it is where actual classes are loaded. If the newest nightly build doesn't solve your problem, it is likely that you have some script that is filling up the permgen space by defining new classes, but first try the latest build before we start looking at scripts.
