Yes, but I really want you to try R16B and see whether that solves the 
problem. And if not, then ideally get us a copy of the DB or perhaps 
access to the machine so we can reproduce the issue - rabbit should not 
require excessive amounts of memory on startup; if it does on modern 
Erlangs then that is something we need to get to the bottom of.

That should work fine.
