I understand your point, and you are entirely right.
But it is a _completely_ unrelated issue. The goal here is to not
overcommit memory and I think we succeeded.
An orthogonal issue is per-user resource limits and this may need to be
coupled with that. It is not a problem I am trying to solve, however.
