Comment (by warner):

 Hm, assuming we can reproduce this after two years, and assuming there's
 no bug causing pathological memory leaks, what would be the best sort of
 fix? We could impose an arbitrary limit on the number of parallel
 operations that the gateway is willing to perform. Or (on some OSes) have
 it monitor its own memory usage and refuse new operations when the
 footprint grows above a certain threshold. Both seem a bit unclean, but
 might be practical.
