I've wanted this occasionally, but "ulimit -m" doesn't appear to work
on most modern Linux installations. See

http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/129587/does-ulimit-m-not-work-on-modern-linux

for more info.

I'm not sure *why* it was removed, as there have been times I wanted
this functionality (I'm looking at you, Firefox, and your
memory-gorging habits) so it would be awfully helpful to have
around. I also just tested "ulimit -m" on OpenBSD and it too seems
to let the RSS of the process grow beyond the specified limit. I've
got a FreeBSD laptop around here that I could test as well if I can
find the power adaptor.
