Replying to myself...

You'd have to be able to specify the absolute maximum memory use for
a process to ensure you'd still kill run-aways (These would go first!
regardless of the other rules maybe).

"If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved
quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some
larger space in which our Universe is imbedded. In answer to the
question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our
Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time."
