The Resin application server, used by LunarPages hosting, will sometimes report the following error:

500 Servlet Exception
[java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space]]

According to Resin's web site [1] this will generally appear when new code is uploaded. It usually takes 15-20 minutes to clear up after the server deploys the new code.
