Local fix

Problem summary

• The operating system's OOM killer terminates the JVM in a
  containerized environment.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JVM has been updated to correctly detect the control groups
  settings. This allows the JVM to correctly set the upper memory
  limit and function within this limit. Further, this stops the
  operating system's OOM killer from terminating the JVM in a
  containerized environment.
