Comment(by olly):

 I'm fairly sure the reporter is referring to the issue in #358 as this
 report in the Debian BTS seems to be from the same person:
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bureport.cgi?bug=564154

 The 7/8 fraction is rather arbitrary - we could just limit to the total
 physical memory, which should still catch run-away filter processes before
 they cause the machine to swap excessively.
