See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/tooldocs/windows/java.html and
your catalina.bat resp. the catalina.sh.

|rem   JAVA_OPTS       (Optional) Java runtime options used when the "start",
|rem                   "stop", or "run" command is executed.

I think so; I had this issue once, too, when importing a file, but Tomcat
didn't crash. If this doesn't help, try to delete the file with the
OpenCms-Shell.
