    Oh, I've run into this a bunch of times. Once you figure out "OutOfMemoryException" just means "misconfigured a plaintext listener for an SSL listener", it's no big deal.

    We never actually investigated, but my assumption is some part of the SSL handshake contains a big number where the plaintext protocol parser is expecting a buffer size, which it then proceeds to try to allocate.
