 ===== Potential causes =====

 Stop all traffic to the system and wait about 20 minutes. This will release memory allocated to transactions etc.
 Test the system again by placing a small number of calls. If the errors start immediately, there is a memory leak.
+If you are not sure of the result, consider it as a memory leak.
-If the memory starvation is because of a too small pool of memory, by stopping the traffic on the proxy (without stopping the proxy), the allocated memory will be freed in time (as transactions and location records are freed).
-TEST: wait ~ 20 minutes without any kind of load the proxy. Test the proxy by placing several calls; if the memory erros pop up again once the traffic is resumed, it means it's a memory leak somewhere; If not sure of the result, consider it's a memory leak.
