Cannot run program \"/usr/bin/python\": [..] java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: error=12, Cannot allocate memory

[Philipp C. Heckel]

I received this error via the crash report dialog a while ago:

Although I am not sure how to fix this, the cause is obviously not enough available RAM. As an immediate reaction to this, I reduced the "minimum" RAM from 512 MB to 256 MB via Java's -Xms parameter.

If this bug occurs again, please let me know
