1G is insane. And like I said, I have no trouble building on Linux
with the default 256M.

Oh, wait: javadoc is run in a separate jvm instance (because it calls
System.exit), so it won't care what you give in the build.{sh,bat} -
instead try adding the 'maxmemory' attribute to the javadoc task in
build.xml and see if that helps (e.g. maxmemory="256m").
