on linux you can install the vserver utilities (on debian/ubuntu apt-get
install util-vserver)
you can set the maximum number of pages available by
vlimit -c PID --rss #
where # = .004 * disired MB size so
vlimit -c PID --rss 10000 = 40MB
you can expiriment what that a little. keep in mind that when the limit is
reached, it is just like running out of memory and will probably just crash
miserably.
