Also, this one:

$pomelo$$23$hash runner 2015$8333ad83e46e425872c5545741d6da105cd31ad58926e437d32247e59b26703e

consumed many gigabytes of RAM and was still growing:

It's sort of expected that we don't currently have any hard memory usage

Meanwhile, it is important to set a sane RLIMIT_AS when fuzzing (I forgot).
