If you're seeing different behaviours on different platforms from 
ostensibly the same Java version, this maywell be due to (1) differing GC 
settings, and (2) the program leaking file descriptors. It's an error to 
rely on garbage collection to manage any resource except memory, but it 
does occasionally happen. There are a few tools available that let you 
examine objects on the heap; perhaps your reindexer is failing to properly 
dispose of file objects.
