In which way? Is it too small? We used to execute it regularly in the 
old days before the VM would grow memory dynamically, so there is a 
chance that this hasn't been executed in a while and needs some 
adjustment. Still, the basic underlying principle of giving advanced 
warning and have the image react to *that* as opposed to an actual 
allocation failure seems sound to me.
