In case this is useful to someone else… looks like this was some really huge upoad jobs that caused a DOS. Maybe the pubic instance has some config in place to avoid blowing up in this situation. While watching the logs during startup i see the memory usage of handler0 go from about 200M to about 4G right after the simple json module conflict warning. it seems to stop increasing right after it prints the cloudlaunch line. Soon thereafter it jumps to 7G of RAM at which point it starts swapping. Then I see a huge number of lines like this (fills my terminal buffer) galaxy.jobs DEBUG 2014-11-24 21:16:02,205 (159978) Persisting job destination (destination id: gridengine) galaxy.jobs.handler

unannounced galaxy-dist. I typically run with 2 web processes and 2 job handlers on a single machine. It seems that now the job handlers consume all RAM at startup and are killed by the kernel. Anybody seen something like this? Bad job? bug? I’m considering a downgrade to the previous stable release.
