That can be painful.

And, now that Björn has reminded me of 9!:21, I should use that to
tell J to give up before going heavily into swap -- that would avoid
this problem.  (I just now changed it from 2^62 to 2^32 on the system
where I am typing this -- it's the first option under the "Parameters"
page of the "Edit->Configure..." dialog.)
