Description

When running unit tests on CentOS 6 I get a bunch of unit test failures in mapreduce-related tests due to:
2012-03-03 00:14:18,776 WARN [Container Monitor]
monitor.ContainersMonitorImpl$MonitoringThread(436): Container
[pid=21446,containerID=container_1330762435849_0002_01_000001] is
running beyond virtual memory limits. Current usage: 223.1mb of 2.0gb
physical memory used; 6.9gb of 4.2gb virtual memory used. Killing
container.

Note: this also came up in the mapreduce project. See: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3933

Patch coming shortly
