[Webtest] Out of Memory problems

[Walker, Brendan]

G'day Marc,=0D

I'm running on WinXP. I'm running the tests through Eclipse so I've most
likely got to fix something there. When I run the test from the command
line with the ANT_OPTS set to -Xmx256M, it works. Is the newer version
supposed to use so much more memory than before?

Cheers,
Brendan

On which OS are you running your tests? If Linux, with which char
encoding?
