Comment (by atagar):

 DocTor runs three checkers: descriptor validation, sybil checks, and
 consensus health checks. The first two are running fine since they only
 operate on a single consensus at a time. The last however is triggering
 the OOM killer.

 DocTor's consensus health checker downloads both the vote and consensus
 from each authority, then runs a series of checks. This means 18 network
 status documents in memory at a time (2 documents x 9 authorities). This
 was fine for yatei, but cappadocicum only has 496 MB.

 I've sunk an hour into seeing if there's a quick change I can made to
 sidestep this, but not spotting anything. Can we boost cappadocicum's
 memory? If not then this might need to swap back to yatei.
