While the `-Xms6g -Xmx8g` options should address this, there have been intermittent memory issues, as the underlying machine machine may be running other tests simultaneously.

The change is done using reflection to test the private visibility methods `encodedOutLength` and `decodedOutLength`, which the public `encode` and `decode` overloaded methods call respectively.
