Hi Mike,
We have seen this issue on a few machines. We *think* it's related to Java
not allocating enough heap space. There's a fix on the Sodbeans wiki that
you should try:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sodbeans/wiki/Sodbeans/setup
Check out the "Troubleshooting your Windows install" section.
Jeff.
