Description of problem:

To help debug memory issues it would be good to have a way to limit the address space for each python process.

The easiest way to do this is in beaker-server.wsgi add the following lines:

import resource
resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_AS, (1000000000,1000000000))

The above would limit the process address space to 1 gig (aprox)

This should be read from the config file so that it can easily be changed and turned off if need be.
