Public bug reported:

It's possible to construct stupid requests which cause memory to run
away, and potentially crash a system. It therefore is good to be able to
specify the maximum memory usage openerp-server can use.

Attached is a simple patch implementing this. It uses rlimit, so it's
Linux only. It allows one to set a config option "max_mem_mb", which is
the maximum amount of memory in MB that the server can use. If openerp
requests more memory, the request will fail, and openerp will throw an
error (but continue processing other requests happily).

This is against the latest trunk of the v5 branch. I don't have any
experience with v6, but presumably a very similar patch will work
perfectly fine there.
