On Windows for example it should only be the result of not having enough memory, but on Linux it could be hitting other limits in addition. In order to keep the additional code needed small, I've would reuse methods already used in printing the limits to a hs_err* file, so it includes some which have no relevance for the failure (see the example in the bug report). But given the low occurrence of this errors, I think it should be OK.

I don't think it appropriate to add all that extra information dump at 
the "warning" level. Either it needs to be significantly reduced, or 
else moved to a lower level. Basic logging is not intended to suffice 
for remote support - YMMV.

Thanks,
