Hi, I have an ill-behaved application that sometimes takes all available memory and totally freezes up my machine. Is there anyway to limit user memory? I would like to keep at least 32 MB available at all time by the root user so that I can at least switch to a VC to kill the offending program. Is this at all possible?
