I’m talking by memory here, but I remember with “max memory” set to 32m I was 
having low memory warnings and I doubled it (no heuristics, it just looked 
“fine” to jump from 32 to 64 :P) and solved the problem. 
The problem could be happening in development images (before compaction)… but 
as I said, this was two years ago so I might be wrong. :P

One thing to take into account is that memory management for pharo is/was not 
optimal, and VM could be asking for more memory than needed in certain 
circumstances. 
Other thing is that memory needed != memory of image. Of course, at the 
beginning it is, but you start creating/destroying objects right after, so your 
needs change. 
And well, there are tons other possible reasons, but in the case of DrGeo, I 
*think* (I don’t remember well) it was when rendering images (the predefined 
images: the screenshots when browsing examples, etc.).
