The memory issue is indeed tangental to the scheduler issues. A few of
us just happened to notice it from de Witte's instance snapshot and
figured we'd point it out as a separate issue and potential problem
for him once the 128MB limit is enforced.

I believe that that instance would already be killed off prematurely
in the backend with an OutOfMemoryError. And will be in the frontend
as well at some point (soon?).
