No. The setting gives the maximum virtual size for the process. I've
already increased it to 64MB because shared library mappings have caused
32MB not to be enough in some systems. Maybe in your system 32MB is just
enough to get the process started, but not enough to always allocate
enough memory for heap/stack.
