The issue seems like some threading issue when "max" and "committed"
memory settings are calculated independently at different moments and
fail to pass a consistency check between them.

I think I would wait a while and retry, but only once.

Do you check what Runtime.freeMemory(), Runtime.totalMemory() return
at the same time? Maybe there is so little free memory that it is
worth to worry.
