I'm running 64-bit Kubuntu 12.04, but neither my choice of desktop 
environment nor the address space should have any affect one way or the 
other.

Java is 64-bit OpenJDK 1.6.  I am admittedly using a much older version of 
DW, however:  4.3.0 - and that may make the difference.  I start it 
thusly:

java -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -jar DW4UI.jar --backup
