Details

When running mochitests on B2G (as well as Fennec), we split the tests into a number of chunks, typically 8.  For B2G, chunk 1 is dying with this error:

Redirecting call to abort() to mozalloc_abort

TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | automation.py | application timed out after 330 seconds with no output

This occurs in various places, i.e., it doesn't always occur with the same test.  I'm guessing that error indicates an out-of-memory condition.

I've tried increasing the number of chunks for B2G from 8 to 9, but this still persists.  I can try increasing it further.
Is that on device or on desktop? I've heard that there is a new kernel giving 30-40MB to the userspace. Maybe that could make things better if it happens to be on the device.
This is on the emulator; all B2G CI is currently running on emulators.
