It's not a memory problem, it's a manifestation of a bug in the way 
Windows 2000 and XP implement the long file-name (LFN) API for DOS 
programs.  The error message comes from a function that tries to rename a 
file, typically a temporary file created by the compiler is renamed to 
the output file you specified.

The amount of memory is not your problem.  To fix the bug, you need a 
version of javac built with a fixed library, which includes a workaround 
for this Windows bug.  I don't know whether such a javac exists and 
where, sorry.
