I have the same problem and I think Java 1.6.0_09 or so introduced this
issue. I have other Java apps running (e.g. TV-Browser), which don't
crash. JOSM is the only java app that crashes so constantly and
frequently (after six seconds of usage, as stated in the hs_err_pid-file).

I tried different -Xmx values (I normally use 1024M), but that didn't
helped. I don't think that the maximum memory usage is a problem here,
because JOSM already crashes with about 40 MB of memory used (as seen in
the status report).

But I found a solution to work around this Java bug:
As I looked in the task manager, I noticed that Thunderbird and other
non-java apps consumed about 1 gig of memory. After I closed every non
vital app, JOSM never crashed again.

Well, my workaround it's not nice, but it works (at least for me).

Bye,
Michi
