[Users] No memory left errors and Private Memory Size

[Mike Williams]

All,

Shouldn't this be considered a security issue? For instance, all I would have 
to do is carefully craft a sip message, and then the sip server would fail to 
start up again when restarted. This is even more severe if it is causing the 
server to run out of memory.
