Hi Garrick,

Here's a quick patch to set up RLIMIT_AS ulimits against 2.1.9 when 
requesting mem= or pmem= for a job,  appears to work in a test on 
this x86_64 box at home.

chris at quad:~$ echo 'ulimit -a' | qsub -l nodes=1 -l pmem=1g
2.quad

chris at quad:~$ cat STDIN.o2

I've not looked at making enforcement optional yet as I'm on leave 
now. :-)

cheers,
