Nordugrid has hard memory limits on jobs, through PBS limits. As Åke
mentions, the Torque support for memory limits isn't perfect on Linux.
Those memory limits are a mixed blessing; our nodes don't run out of
memory, but it's a bit of a pity that jobs are being killed when they
exceed their asked-for memory limit of, say, 800 MB, when they happen
to be running on a dedicated node with 2 GB RAM.
