Which seems a little harsh :) In libgphoto2, someone recently implemented reading the available memory from /proc/meminfo (if available) and act according to that. The code is at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gphoto/libgphoto2/libgphoto2/gphoto2-filesys.c?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup Look for gp_get_free_memory.
