I get exceptions thrown from Engine/Source/Runtime/Core/Private/Unix/UnixPlatformMemory.cpp just trying to allocate 10 megabytes, when I have gigabytes free for alloc(), the editor does not even run demo projects for me. Occurs versions 4.23 and the git master (4.25.0?) built on Ubuntu 18.04 and 19.10.

Please increase LARGE_MEMORYPOOL_SIZE, exiting...
It’s easy to reproduce this, all I am doing is building following the instructions then opening a demo project (any project), the crash occurs after some time while editing.
Should I increase the LARGE_MEMORYPOOL_SIZE in Engine/Source/Runtime/Core/Public/GenericPlatform/GenericPlatformMallocCrash.h or am I doing something wrong? (Although I’m just trying to run a demo project in the editor…)
