Hi!

Please consider adding a stanza to README.Debian which explains a
common cause of "out of memory" condition with openvpn.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154696 is the original bug report with
some details.

Thanks!

Martin

+Out of Memory issues
+-------------------
+
+You might run into issues with openvpn complaining about out of memory. The 
reason for this behavior is that openvpn uses mlockall to pin all of its pages 
into memory. To correct this issue you can put a "ulimit -l <reasonable 
number>" in the openvpn init script.
