... and before I forget, a reminder:  Java threads take up a file descriptor. 
Hadoop's unit tests were firing up 10s of thousands of threads which were 
eating up 10s of thousands of FDs and ultimately lead to "cannot fork, no 
resource" errors causing everything to come tumbling down for the Jenkins salve 
process.  So _all_ the resources, not just RAM or whatever.
