This is theproblem I face too when someone can bring the system to crawling with
while (1) fork();
This is because Linux doesnt support per-user memory limits. It doesnt even gracefully
handle out-of-memory situation (search for OOM patches to kernel)
If find some patches to kernel for per-user limits please post here.
