Answer 1

I have a small program that starts a configurable
number of threads (say, 10 000). The issue is that,
the first time I run the program, it grows a lot in
memory, and I get:
For some reason, from the second time on, it runs with
no problems at all, and memory usage doens't grow
larger than 10MB...
What do you mean "the first time". If this only ever occurred once, the very first time, then the problem was with your code. After that there is no very first time.
If however, it repeats, then that means something changes. For instance do you mean that every other time it fails. So the 1-fails, 2-works, 3-fails, 4-works, etc. If so try turning off any active applications such as virus checkers, MDI apps, active messaging, etc and see if it changes the behavior.
Or perhaps every time you recompile the code and then run it it fails? So the test then becomes to recompile the code without any changes at all and see if it reliably fails each time. If it does then try compiling just a hello world app and then run. If it fails then then it means there is some configuration problem on your computer which causes a jvm bug (try turning off your virus checker and other active applications.) If not then it means that some oddity in your code is causing the JVM to mess up the OS.
