   Using the same setup(applications using a fair amount of RAM), setting the 
`vm.overcommit_memory` almost immediately causes the desktop to crash.  I also 
changed the `sysctl vm.overcommit_ratio=90`, that at least allowed the desktop 
to not crash immediately.  However, one tab in firefox kept crashing at that 
point and 0/68 tests in log4cxx passed(every single subprocess failed with an 
abort).  Changing the `overcommit_memory` back to 0 allowed the tests to run.
   
   This can clearly be a very flaky test given the large amount of memory that 
needs to be allocated(especially since it needs to be contiguous), so if we 
push out a release with this set as default I would expect us to receive a 
number of bug reports.
