 Keywords:  mutable large usability error  |  Launchpad Bug:
-------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 If an operation on a mutable file requires significantly more memory than
 the amount of physical memory available, then it will just thrash
 uselessly. Depending on how well the operating system handles memory
 pressure, this may make the machine unusable or the gateway process
 difficult to kill. The gateway should simply refuse the operation in this
 case.

 The method of getting the amount of usable memory is likely to be
 different on Unix and Windows.
