I don't know what you are doing, but it works for me. The jdk 1.1.8
in combination with anyj runs for days without crashing. Just eats up
a lot of memory, but that's not a problem, I have 256Mb in my 
desktop pc... I can run AnyJ and TogetherJ side by side (both
using ibm's jdk 118) without swapping and without crashing.
