Bug#368864: tomcat5: fails throwing a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError exception

[Administrador de Sistemas]

Package: tomcat5
Version: 5.0.30-9
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When there have been some 5 to 10 web application deployments, it throws
this exception: 

   java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

It makes tomcat nearly unusable, because yo must restart it every time it
shows that behaviour. Anyway, I've found that it is a known bug so it has
been corrected in some Tomcat version. Check this link [1].
