Two ideas... or suggestions...

1) could a "log file" be written or touched to indicate the last time one of
these events occured? That way there would be no danger of spewing to much
crap into the logs... Just a simple timestamp or even a 0 byte file touched
when the event occurs... or perhaps just the address that caused the
error... one record - overwrite as needed.

optionally, if these log messages were available in a debug mode, it might
be a helpful diagnostic tool...

2) could the localhost have a separate set of limits? If not defined,
default to the original - if defined, use them?

I'm not able to do this right now, but would like your thoughts on the
idea - maybe it's an easy change - maybe there is something stupid about the
idea...

Thanks!
