It seems that sometimes, something on a pump.io server gets 'corrupted' and then all picture uploads, by any user in that server, fail with the server error:

spawn ENOMEM

This happens in microca.st at the moment, but it has happened in other Pump servers before.

This is because the servers there have such little memory space. They can't handle spawning out the gm binary to do thumbnailing.

The short-term solution is to put microca.st and other sites on bigger servers. The long-term solution, and probably the best one, is to change pump.io to use a native gm library like https://www.npmjs.org/package/graphicsmagick2

Changing gm libraries may be somewhat complex; pushing until 0.4.0 since we want to get 0.3.1 out fairly quickly

@strugee strugee modified the milestones: 0.4.0, 0.3.1 Mar 20, 2016
