Looks like the problem is in the amount of private vm memory pages my VPS
provider has allowed me.  

FYI, following is the email with the details that I sent to my VPS provider.


I'm trying to run red5 (java streaming server) in my VPS, but am getting an
error about it unable to allocate enough object heap.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] red5-0.6.1]# ./red5.sh
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.


I went online and found out that this has to do with the privvmpages VPS
limit:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] red5-0.6.1]# cat /proc/user_beancounters

uid resource held maxheld barrier limit failcnt
6084: kmemsize 11001709 11024071 20761600 23068672 0
lockedpages 0 0 256 256 0
privvmpages 206196 206196 235929 262144 27
...


There's a thread here where an openvz user had the same problem and fixed it
by increasing privvmpages value.

It looks like there's plenty of overall free memory:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] red5-0.6.1]# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 943716 329740 613976 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 329740 613976
Swap: 0 0 0
