I noticed that the brk system calls are failing because the return value is
less than the argument value.
brk(0x60013000) = 0x5ffef000
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/brk.2.htmlbrk() sets the
end of the data segment to the value specified by addr, when that value is
reasonable, the system has enough memory, and the process does not exceed its
maximum data size (see setrlimit(2)) ... On failure, the system call returns
the current break.
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/setrlimit.2.htmlRLIMIT_DATA
The maximum size of the process's data segment (initialized data,
uninitialized data, and heap). This limit affects calls to brk(2)
0x60013000 is 1,610,690,560 in decimal
0x5ffef000 is 1,610,543,104 in decimal
Best of luck in solving this
