 When we are running 64 processes,
 we are using ~ 250 Mb from 1 GB RAM.
 
 Please see attached e2.log of gdb session.

+If this is an OOM problem, here is why it is happening: the gc does 
+not know about the memory you allocate using malloc. So, it doesn't 
+realize `hey, I need to do a gc to free unmanaged memory'. Relying on 
+the GC to free unmanaged memory with finalizers is *not* a good idea. 
+You really need to call Dispose. OOM only comes from gc allocations, 
+not from standard malloc.
+
+Does your rsh have some sort of ulimit attached? Does the problem go 
+away if you call Dipsose?
+
+Can you try a similar test case that just malloc's a similar amount 
+of memory to what you are doing?
