[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

https://github.com/Macaulay2/M2/issues/500 says there it's the Boehm GC being
configured for small memory by default.

They say setting the environment variable GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE (to
like "50G") helps.  Not sure why.

Also, there's an environment variable GC_MAXIMUM_HEAP_SIZE.
