Just a consideration. If I'm not wrong, assigning unlimited locked memory can give the process the ability to lock the whole machine: dropping the privileges loses then part of its sense.
I don't have enough knowledge to say more - I'm not even sure what I wrote makes sense - but I feel that, if possible, we should try to determine a limit. I've made some quick tests and, since now, the memory slmodemd allocates never exceeded 4192KB: this seems to confirm what Corey said (4208KB, the memory slmodemd allocates at start). Assuming what I wrote was right, 8MB would be a good starting point, but a 16MB limit would be equally safe if we feel this will cause less troubles.
