[android-developers] debugging some opengles android game with eclipse encountered outofmemoryerror exception

I'm trying to debug some android opengles soccer game with eclipse(my android device is Dell Streak pad). When the game enters into some match(let's say a worldcup match), the eclipse debugger takes really such a long time, and unfortunately fails with the outofmemoryerror exception.

Here is the call stack for the crash:

And there is also some info with the logcat:

and so on.

I've tried to run it on my android device directly, and things seem to be all right, no crash, and takes acceptable time to load & run. I wonder if it is because the vm heap memory is not enough, so I've tried to increase vm memory value in eclipse.ini, after that I also closed the eclipse and restarted it:

--launcher.XXMaxPermSize 1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -Xms256m -Xmx1024m

But it doesn't work. Although it runs well on the device, but I need to debug the game match for breakpoints, stepping. Without the debugging, it would be very bad. Anyone who knows sth about this please help me on this.

Note: I am debugging the opengles game on a device(dell streak pad as I mentioned), so there would be no problem with the emulator doesn't support opengles.
