[Soot-list] Memory problems in whole-program-mode

I am surprised that 3.7GB should not be enough. I have analyzed larger
programs with less memory. May I ask what benchmark this is? Also,
when you write "started from eclipse" do you mean as a launch
configuration or via the Soot eclipse plugin?

Best wishes,
Eric
