Someone should check how Boehm decides if it should extend the heap area
or try to reclaim garbage and reuse memory. A side-effect of removing a
limit could be that ECL just keeps allocating more memory until everything
is used up, before garbage collecting. Other processes might not like that
too much.
I guess a sanity check would be to try some long computation that is
supposed to use constant memory and see if ext:set-limit influences the
memory footprint.
