The need to set this property suggest something is wrong with the next one.
We set max query memory per node to 60 MB. Then, the
`MemoryAllocationUtilitites` is supposed to divide that up. If you have to
override that, then something is amiss. We should track down that problem.
A good place to start is to turn on logging for this test (using the log
fixture.) The sort will dump its configured memory. If it is still 2 GB, then
debug the memory allocation utilities.
Perhaps it is as simple as using the wrong option below...
