[alicebot-aiethics] out of mem error

[loki d quaeler]

the java virtual machine has a cap on the amount of memory it can 
consume by default.  once it surpasses that, it dies ungracefully as 
seen below - there's nothing much programatically that can be done.  
that being said, you can specify a larger chunk of memory to consume 
using flags to java when you run the application:
-Xms#_
specifies the initial heap size for the start of the vm
-Xmx#_
specifies the maximum size it's allowed to grow to

# is an integer, _ is a unit - either 'm' for megabytes, or 'g' for 
gigabytes

so:

java -Xms128m -Xmx2g org.bla.bla.Bla

launches the app with a claimed space of 128 megabytes, and tells the vm 
that it's allowed to grow to 2 gigabytes of memory space.
