OutOfMemory hibernate scroll with 2M records | Postgresql 8.4 DB

Hi

I am running a Criteria.scroll() on postgresql on a DB containing 2M
records. The memory keeps increasing and finally it generates an
OutOfMemoryException. Please can you advice how to fix this.

*Postgresql DB version:* 8.4
*Postgresql Driver Used:* postgresql-8.4-701.jdbc4.jar

Some forums do mention that "/scroll/" is slow on Postgresql.

Is this a known issue or we need to do something specific to make scroll
work on Postgresql?

*Exception StackTrace*:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
