Closed as program error.
Error description
Certain large, contiguous memory allocations inside of the DataPower firmware might cause unpredictable results including a firmware restart.
Local fix
Problem summary
Certain large, contiguous memory allocations in the DataPower firmware might cause a restart inside of the allocator itself. Such allocations no longer cause a restart inside of the allocator itself, but if the appliance is low on memory then other things such as the throttler might still cause the appliance to restart. This is not an overarching change to how the appliance behaves in low memory situations. It is a narrow fix to prevent the allocator itself from failing incorrectly in certain rare situations.
Problem conclusion
The fix is available in 4.0.2.14, 5.0.0.9, and 6.0.0.0.
Temporary fix
