Fresh install, OutOfMemory error blues

Fresh install on a VM (CentOS) with 11Gb of RAM, and it doesn't matter what I set Xms/Xmx to I get OutOfMemory. Can someone tell from this log what I am missing?

I stumbled onto some other people's solution to the system call filters error on CentOS, and disabled the check (though it makes no sense that the last error reported was OutOfMemory). I also set the heap size more appropriately, to 4Gb. The service started! -- for about 20 seconds. Now my log pretty much says the same thing but without the system call filters part:

Can anyone tell me the true cause?
