Well if you insist on making the name server use small amounts of
RAM/VM, it's reasonable to expect the name server to moan about not
having enough memory to work in. Increasing the name server's memory
footprint from 20M to 21M is not very generous. Is your system really
that RAM-poor?

The name server is running as a non-privileged UID that does not have
permission to (a) set increased memory limits for itself; (b) bind to
privileged port numbers. You'll need to restart the server so it can
do those things before it changes to the non-privileged UID you chose.
