Ok, I'm using 256MB, this means, I should try to set ulimit -l to 256MB. Nevertheless, I'm wondering that I don't get the same problem with root. Obviously, the limit is ignored as root. > Once we have libvirt support, all of this should be relatively > transparent as that will take care of the limits setting.

Thanks, Hmm, should work like this (I'm already running VM's this way, but without changes to ulimit): Define a new user and run libvirt with this user. For this user context, ulimit can be set to, lets say, 256MB. I'll try it.
