Fatal process OOM in insufficient memory to create an Isolate

[gpanders]

Environment

• Platform: Linux aarch64
• Docker Version: 19.03.11
• Node.js Version: 12
• Image Tag: 12-alpine

Expected Behavior

I should be able to run the Docker container.

Current Behavior

Any invocation of node in the container (including npm) results in the following:

<--- Last few GCs --->


<--- JS stacktrace --->


#
# Fatal process OOM in insufficient memory to create an Isolate
#

Possible Solution

Searching around the web I found some suggestions to set the --max-old-space-size flag, but this doesn't seem to have any effect.

FWIW my system has 24 GB of RAM, so I'm definitely not out of memory.

Steps to Reproduce

docker run --rm -it node:12-alpine

Additional Information

This also occurs with node:13-alpine, but not 11-alpine or 14-alpine.
