I keep getting this error. I've tried to restart tomcat, alfresco and the site is locked up until I reboot the server. I know you should never have to reboot a server (linux) but i am not sure what service is hosed and what service to restart. And Actually, what is causeing this problem. If at any time you add anything to the alfresco pages, it is hosed.Here is a snippet from the /opt/alfresco/alfresco.log file: Actually the first part is from the buffer of my putty screen. This logfile is large so I sliced out a small part. if more is needed, theres more.:

ermSize=256m to JAVA_OPTS in alfresco.sh helped in my case, but I haven't run it extensively.
that seems to have done the trick. I am up and running
