Description

Probably due to some kind of message store corruption, when trying to start ActiveMQ, I get OutOfMemory errors and the startup simply fails.

This can be solved by deleting /var/local/apache-activemq/kahadb, after which ActiveMQ starts with no issue.

This issue doesn't always happen, and I'm not sure of a scenario that can reproduce this. I do have a corrupted kahadb directory that reproduces the problem.
