Failing to reserve memory for plugin when creating new tab or re-attaching to session

Issue description

I am using Zellij on a cluster login node where memory is restricted. When starting a session there are no issues, until I open a new tab, then I see ERROR IN PLUGIN - check logs for more info instead of the compact bar. And if I detach and attach again I get an mmap error:

Error occurred in server:

  × Thread 'wasm' panicked.

      Caused by:

          1: mmap failed to reserve 0x200000000 bytes
          2: Cannot allocate memory (os error 12)

It seems odd that zellij would be trying to allocate 8 GB. Is this true? Or is it because it appears there is 512 GB of available memory on the server even though it seems to be restricted per user.

Minimal reproduction

zellij
<ctrl o> + d
zellij a

Other relevant information

This is the server I am using. I experienced similar issues with helix until they changed their global search.

I have tried this with zellij version 0.41.0, 0.41.1, and 0.41.2. I believe I was using 0.41.0 before and had no issues until recently when something must've changed on the login node's side.

I ran into the same problem. Any version > 0.40.1 could not work.
