One more note.  I have 16gb of memory on this system so the large heap 
really isnt a problem per-se.  I still see occasional exits (with no 
crashdump so I can't easily say what exactly is happening).  RSS on my 
system is 10000 so I'm not coming even close to that.

Henri, I'm not saying your wrong (though setting a param outside the 
specified operational range for the library doesn't feel like a *fix* to 
me). I do believe more testing is needed.
