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. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
