Has anyone upgraded to NCM 1.6?

What seems to be the problem? Here is the release notes for the latest version and instructions for the upgrade.

Thanks for the reply however we already have the 1.6.01 patch. It appears if your server is 32-bit you can still have the out of memory problem. We had to reduce concurrent tasks down to 40% below default to get NCM to work without spontaneous restarts.

We too are on NCM 1.6 and have memory issues.  However, our server is 64-bit.  I cannot yet find anything about where to increase the internal allocation.  We have 16BG on our host, yet NCM seems dead set on only using a fraction of it. 

I disabled the memory event monitor because it was becoming far too annoying.  But this is what I would see constantly:

Monitor: MemoryMonitor

Description: Monitor for checking the memory available to the system.

New Status: Error

New Result: Only 43 MB free. It is lower than both "Warning Threshold for Free RAM" settings (64MB and 15%). No task will run until this issue is resolved.

Previous Status: Okay

Previous Result: 153 MB free

There has to be a way to give it more resources.  I'd like to increase the number of concurrent tasks, but doing so causes the system to completely choke on itself.
