Ah. Was this what you had done in the first place?

When you set the watermark very low, close to the "empty" memory use, it 
is very possible that the memory level will go over and never go under 
again. Caches, lazy instantiation and so on. RabbitMQ is not designed 
for highly constrained memory environments.
