Interesting PGA/Memory puzzle (4030 error at 32GB used) - ulimit settings?

Env: 12.1.0.2 on Linux 7.4 64-bit

So, I've been all over Oracle support and Google-ing this morning trying to determine a root cause for this:

Here's the error and its always 32GB (ulimit settings to follow). Oracle doesn't have any support docs for KOLLRSZ.

The reason I'm wondering about ulimits kicking in is because its always at 32GB. I'm betting its a memory leak but I'd like to overcome this seeming 32GB barrier.

I'm wondering if there's a parameter at the OS layer limiting the session to 32GB

ulimit -a

PGA Settings are as follows on this Data Warehouse:
