Hello, in the Redis community it was observed multiple times that when a 32 bit instance using Jemalloc (<= 3.0) is very near to be out of memory because the whole available address space was used, it can happen that the server crashes because memory gets corrupted instead of malloc returning NULL.
Is this a known issues? Redis 2.6 automatically sets a 3GB memory limit in 32 bit instances now so we are likely to see this less frequently in the future, but it is interesting for us to understand this issue as sometimes this triggered investigations about non existing bugs.
