A few days ago we upgraded to Jenkins ver. 1.475. Since then almost every day we get java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space. I cannot be 100% sure that the upgrade is the reason, but our setup behind has not changed.

Please have a look and help:

Status Code: 500

Edited /etc/sysconfig/jenkins:
JENKINS_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:MaxPermSize=512M"\
and I am hoping this to help.
