I first tried to use /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java which is a link
to /usr/bin/gij-4.3 but statsvn consume all my memory (RAM + swap) and
does not finish. Log bellow:

Using /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java (from sun-java5-jre) the
execution is very fast and does not consume so much RAM.

I suggest you add a note in /usr/share/doc/statsvn/README.Debian that
kaffe and gij are not good enough for statsvn.
