node.remove() causes "out of memory" error

Hi,

I wanted to delete a node which has over 5000 immediate sub nodes; each of
the sub nodes has their own child nodes. 
When I call node.remove(), the application hang and after about 10 minutes
or so, the server started to complain that it could not allocate memory from
the heap. (WebSphere 6)

The message is "JVMST109: Insufficient space in Javaheap to satisfy
allocation request
JVMST109: Insufficient space in Javaheap to satisfy allocation request
JVMDG217: Dump Handler is Processing OutOfMemory - Please Wait."

Other than forcing garbage collection, is there anything else behind this
issue? Has anyone else encountered such problem? 

Thanks,
D
