steps

sbt -mem 10000 -client

problem

sbt -mem 10000 -client
[info] entering experimental thin client - BEEP WHIRR
[info] server was not detected. starting an instance
[error] failed to connect to server

expectation

I guess mem does not make sense with a sbt server but IMO sbt should only emit a warning that it has no effect (i.e. ignore it) and still start the client

notes

Is there a way to give the server more memory? And if so, how?
