I have a function in user_default which I would like to protect
against naive users consuming all the memory.  It runs a loop building
an accumulator which is a list of records.

I could just use a guard of length(Acc) < ?MAXLEN however I don't
really know how big the records are. I'd like to stop when too much
memory is being used by Acc, or maybe the (shell) process.

Any suggestions?
