(At least) on our EVA SGE cluster, the get_software_versions process is sometimes failing because of a lack of memory for the Java Virtual machine used by some programs (bug also reported by @alexhbnr and @arthurkocher ).
The .command.log contains this error:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to allocate 65536KB bitmaps for parallel garbage collection for the requested 2097152KB heap.
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
Two solutions to that:
The quick fix: Increase the memory for the get_software_versions process
The real fix: specify the Java virtual machine memory in the get_software_versions for the tools that use a JVM (with -J-Xmx${task.memory.toGiga()}g)
