[MC-137634] Minecraft Server won't start: "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread"

I'd really like to update my small private server to 1.13.2, but somehow there seem to be some changes, that won't allow me to do so. Important side note: I have no problems starting the 1.13.1 server JAR!!

The same crash happens with the recent 18w43b server JAR, even with a clean folder. Since the whole JAR crashes, before "Minecraft" even has a chance to start, there is no log file (folder is empty).

However, here is my screen output (user and server URL have been removed due to privacy/security).

As seen, there is more than 3GB RAM free for usage, but the server file still seem to think, that there's not enough RAM. Did you change the minimal requirements?
