I'm seeing a really odd problem: the IDE splash screen is displayed when I start NB 4.1 and then it disappears. Unfortunately, the IDE itself never appears, which seems to me qualifies this problem as a P1. The application does not exit. By looking at the Windows task manager I can see that the application is still running. The last time that I was able to successfully run the IDE I shut it down normally, with only one project open. I have attached the log file and my netbeans.conf file.

If I can ask, what is your HW configuration ? Did you been running any other applications during the time when OOME rised?
The HW configuration is a Fujitsu LifeBook 7010D, with 1.25GB of RAM and an 80GB hard disk. The first time I ran into this problem there were other applications running: Firefox, Thunderbird, and StarOffice. I then rebooted the system and tried to just run NB 4.1 and the problem happened again. I was hoping someone might spot some sort of clue in the stack trace to give me an idea of what I could change to get back to where I can run NB again. But I'm going to go ahead and un-install and then re-install.
Interesting. I never saw "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread" before. Must be a problem specific to your Win XP installation. The system is out of resources for thread creation for some reason. Are you able to run some other large Java application at the moment you see this problem in Netbeans? If so, and if other applications (non-Java) don't have any problems, then this might be JDK 1.5.0_04 bug.
I meant of course: ..if NO, and if other applications (non-Java) don't have any problems, then this might be JDK 1.5.0_04 bug.
BTW, why do you set 20MB size of thread stack??? I did not notice that before. This must be the cause of the problem. Remove -J-Xss20m from your netbeans.conf. Feel free to reopen if you encounter this problem also with the default netbeans.conf settings.
Just FYI, I had boosted the stack size in a desperate attempt to work around this problem: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=62167 It didn't work, but I forgot to remove the Xss20m from my .conf file. Removing it does make a difference, so that must have been the cause of the problem here.
