As you can see in my case the RSS was 10GB and that was the cause for the kill.
The VM was 11GB. But maybe I should increase the virtual machines VM size,
maybe that'd keep the RSS down a bit, but I doubt this is the case. If there
have been memory leak improvements with regard to 2.5.3 to current release,
then I could upgrade, but I'd really like to know that this is a known effect
as this is a production system.
