That is also a possibility, and something to keep in mind (the circular
buffer exists outside of the memory size specified for the Java virtual

I'm pretty (but not absolutely) sure you would get an "Out of memory" error
(instead of "Failed to initialize circular buffer") if that were the cause,
though.
