<p class="MsoNormal">I also recommend trying to run the test with around 4GB of RAM and 2GB of hugepages to see if it fails. That is roughly the number of resources we have per machine that is completely dedicated to unit tests. The amount of RAM available
can sometimes increase depending on how many jobs are running per machine, but 4GB is the lowest it can go for the unit test job.<o:p></o:p></p>
