By default Executor/Linux only assigns 2 MB of memory for the
"application zone", which is the portion of memory where most
applications store their data. You can trivially expand this with the
"-applzone" command line switch:
executor -applzone 4m
will increase that limit from 2 MB to 4 MB. If you ask for too much
memory then Executor will use virtual memory and you'll slow down, but
on your configuration, you should be able to say "executor -applzone
16m" with no penalty.
