I don't think last two comments from David is the same problem. Let's keep this ticket for the memory mapped file problem.

Encountered this problem today.

Windows 2003 Server SP2
Java 1.6
Jenkins 1.461
File mentioned below is 45 MB

This trace is slightly different form the ones above in that it has died in readFromTar().

Does this issue still occur on recent Jenkins versions? I mean the OutOfMemoryError, not the issue with files larger than 8GB, that's tracked as JENKINS-10629.

Given the age of this issue and lack of response to the recent comment asking for updated information, resolving as Fixed again.

If something similar occurs on recent versions of Jenkins, please file a new bug report so it can be investigated independent of this issue's history.
