I find that when I set the max memory using
Options-->Memory&threads...

to a value over 1600 (eg, 2300MB), then I receive a warning that setting to a
value over 1600MB may cause IJ to not start. Fair enough -- but I am using
JRockit and in fact can  use a larger max memory.
So I click OK, but the max memory will be unchanged. If I put in a "legal" value
(ie under 1600MB), then it will be changed after the next startup.
I can work around this by manually entering the max memory in the ImageJ.cfg
file as -Xmx####m .

I think that this behavior is new, and might have been introduced as an
unintended side effect of putting in the warning.
