It might be a good idea to have a compile-time configuration option for maximum cache size, and it might also be a good idea for gimp to check its ulimits and adjust its cache size so as to avoid running over its data segment limit or maximum resident set size. Some admins use these as a way to prevent resource hogging. Kelly
