             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: JavaScript View Server
    Affects Versions: 0.9

            Priority: Minor


We need a way to limit the total memory used by sub processes, such as a view 
process, so they can not use up all the available memory due to coding error or 
malicious attack. We can probably do this by setting ulimit in the 
couchspawnkillable script.
