As a test try doubling vm.max_map_count. We've seen the ENOMEM before in cases
where the number of memory allocations mapped by a process exceeded this value.
Note that if this is the issue it likely indicates somewhere in excess of
32700 threads are being created so you may want to look at just how many
threads *are* being created when this issue is seen as well as taking a look
at the /proc/<PID>/maps file for the process to verify the number of
allocations. If you are seeing > 32700 threads created we should look at
whether that number makes sense in your environment.
