      Steps to reproduce:
      Upgraded from 4.0 to 5.2. Proxy VMware Collector starts craches every N days with out of memory error:

       64051:20210303:130309.893 Zabbix Proxy stopped. Zabbix 5.2.4 (revision e9f58de09c).
      

      Configuration won't change. It looks like some fragmentation of cache. According the log there is plenty of space in cache free, but zabbix complains about run out of memory.

      Expected:
      No crashed as it was in 4.0.X
