CAUSE
bsu.sh is not configured with high enough values when applying larger patches such as a Patch Set Update.
SOLUTION
Add Xms and Xmx in bsu script to resolve the out of memory issue.
Example:
bsu.sh (UNIX):
"$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" -Xms2048m -Xmx2048m -jar patch-client.jar $*
[applmgr@ip-10-0-0-161 bsu]$ ./bsu.sh -install -patch_download_dir=/u01/oracle/PROD/fs1/FMW_Home/utils/bsu/cache_dir -patchlist=EQDE -prod_dir=/u01/oracle/PROD/fs1/FMW_Home/wlserver_10.3
