Hi,

I assume you mean MB not GB ? Yes 32MB is a very low setting, so this explains
the original problem quite nicely.

In an ideal world it would at least be handled better then crashing, but our
oom handling currently is rather poor (as you've noticed) . Fixing this
unfortunately is quite difficult and currently no one is working on this.

Since changing the setting in the BIOS fixes things, I'm closing this bug.

Regards,

Hans
