    Description

      We've had some reports of users disks filling up with the giant heap dump files that get generated when Puppet Server hits an OOM error.

      It's pretty rare that more than one of these files would be of any actual value to engineering, so it seems like maybe we should just change the code to use a fixed filename for the .hprof file and let it be overwritten on subsequent OOMs; then there'd never be more than one and we wouldn't have to worry about them filling up the disk.
