cgi memory limitation

Is there any possibility of limiting the memory that a cgi process is using? Good if we limit the time, but better the memory ;-)
thttpd and other ligth http servers has no this possibilities. And because hiawatha is centered in security I think it's a natural feature to request, if it's not supported yet

Thanks and go ahead,
Xan.

Unfortunately, limiting memory usage is not something a webserver can do. The linux kernel can do it for you. See /etc/limits.conf
