Well, if you're gonna make this a serious response, how about by implementing per-process memory limits?
I'm not the one who signs every message with a cute slogan. Of course I'm serious.
And I have considered using limits and I know of the ulimit built-in for BASH. But that's really neither here nor there, because only rarely are these programs started via a command submitted to a shell. To be genuinely helpful, I need something with a wider scope than a limit set in a shell.
