MariaDB on Windows Server 2012 R2 - out of memory
The 32bit is the culprit. Due to a strange rounding up when calculating buffers, the server would allocate almost twice as much memory (3GB instead of 1.5GB), leaving only 1GB address space for anything else .It is fixed in 10.2.7 and later, the bug report is here https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-12097
