If an application need memory, there is no memory free, and there is
swap, the kernel will give it as much as it wants - unless you limit it
with ulimit and friends.
I just checked the man page for ulimit, and did a search
for the string "swap" and it came up empty... so it looks
like ulimit might not help here....although ulimit -v can set
an upper limit on virtual memory, and -d can cap the
size of the process's data segment (although I have no
idea of how that impacts malloc() or other dynamic
memory allocation methods.
