Here's how it looks NOW.  Can't speak for the time of the failure.

There are two WAS JVM instances running (for two separate apps).  To meet 
service targets, they've been increasing the memory allocation for each of 
these.  I believe they're currently set to 512m, and the "real" storage 
allocation was increased to 1.3 gb. to allow for this.

Various people have suggested increasing "real" memory still further, but we're 
approaching the point where it might affect other instances under VM, so we 
need justification and we haven't seen anything concrete.
