I would not call it "problem" nor "workaround".  Current hardware has a 
bit too many "options", and it is difficult to figure out system 
parameters that work almost everywhere for almost everybody.

For the Isabelle release I try to make the usual standard laptop or 
desktop configuration work out of the box as best as possible -- I have 
already downgraded thread stack size for the JVM to accomodate more 
threads by default.

As usual, any reports about incidents help to figure out where default 
options need further refinement towards a convex closure somewhere in the 
middle.
