Resource limits for convertd?



Our server seems to have swapped itself to death last week because a convertd child process ballooned to 30GB RAM. (I wasn't there, but that's what the surviving zmstats suggest.)

This has happened before, though not for a long time. Has it happened to anyone else? We're probably unusual in allowing attachments up to 100MB.

I wonder if simply setting appropriate ulimits in zmconvertctl would work? Maybe a ceiling of 5GB?
