Review Comment:
   We have a max. heap size of 31GB configured and under normal circumstance we 
use around 5GB heap memory. So I don't think it's related to the maximum heap 
size settings.
   I'm pretty sure that you will get more and more OOM messages if you leave it 
"true". It wasn't that easy for us to find the problem, we had to enable our 
java profiler in production and we have done a few memory dumps to understand 
the issue. But I'm just an end user and now aware of the issue ;-)...
