Or the attached patch which sets RLIMIT_AS instead of RLIMIT_DATA for
mem and pmem requests.  RLIMIT_DATA is only honoured when malloc() in
calls brk()/sbrk() for trivial allocations.  For any non-trivial
allocation it calls mmap() which ignores RLIMIT_DATA and looks at
RLIMIT_AS instead.

cheers,
Chris
