java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

Hi,
I keep encountering java.lang.OutOfMemoryError when I use Sahi on e.g. http(d0t)www(d0t)flickr.com/search/?q=test&z=t .
I am testing Sahi on web2.0/AJAX applications so flickr came to my mine as a 'test' target.
thanks,
James Tan

Did you make any changes to sahi.properties? It seems to work fine for me.
Any more information on browser/OS etc.?
Regards,
Narayan
I was using Opera 10.10, 10.50 on Linux. Haven't tried using FF yet due to the popup-blockers hindrance.
I tried verifying in IE on Windows, worked fined without the errors. Might stay with this for the time being.
The sahi.sh was left untouched.
thanks,

The OutOfMemoryError occurs when the browser points to Sahi's proxy and Sahi's proxy again points to itself. This circular reference can occur in 2 cases:
1) sahi/config/sahi.properties (or userdata/config/userdata.properties) has been modified to use an external proxy which points to localhost 9999.
2) The proxy settings are configured globally such that java itself is using the global proxy settings, in which case the java code in Sahi will connect to Sahi itself and cause a loop.
