-------------------------------------

The occasional "Cannot allocate memory" means that the VM or container has not 
enough RAM to do the I/O operation due to Java needing off-heap memory for that.

We could try to reduce the heap size of the JVM, leaving more memory unused. 
Otherwise, we cannot influence this...
