Yes, and 1000 * RLIMIT_AS is almost always enough to make things very

It has always shown the virtual memory usage, which is almost never useful.

Much better diagnostic would be the unique size set = memory that is unique 
to that process. Underestimates because it excludes shared memory but 
probably the most useful to find memory leaks... See e.g. the smem utility 
(even written in Python).
