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 this will generally appear when new code is uploaded [1]. It usually takes 15-20 minutes to clear up after the server deploys the new code. Alternately, you can force a redeploy of the JSPs to reset the project.
