I don't think that not adding h_vmem should result in a zero allocation -
quite the opposite, if you don't add a default allocation then you can use
infinite memory.

We tried a couple of ways to enforce this.  We started putting the -l
h_vmem=1G (or whatever) in the $SGE_ROOT/default/common/sge_request file
so it gets added to all jobs by default, however the users can remove this
by putting -clear on their submissions.  We've now moved to using a server
side job submission verifier (JSV).  I'd be happy to send you the script
we use, but its a little more complex than you might need in that we only
add the h_vmem to batch jobs and we leave interactive jobs unrestricted.

That seems to be working really well for us.

Simon.
