I would guess the problem is that your memory restriction is causing a malloc
failure based on this line:
> [pid 6796] mmap(NULL, 8560001024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
> MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)
and we probably don't protect against that failure as well as we should. I
doubt we would issue another 1.6 release for it, though.
