In the case of really severe problems within the JVM that runs ``codeql``, it might return a nonzero exit code of its own choosing.
This should only happen if something is severely wrong with the CodeQL installation.
This should only happen if something is severely wrong with the CodeQL installation, or a memory issue with the host system running the CodeQL process. For example, Unix systems may return `Exit Code 137` to indicate that the kernel has killed a process that CodeQL has started. One way to troubleshoot this issue is to modify your `--ram=` flag for the `codeql database analyze` step and re-run your workflow.
