syncserver[4715]: Fatal error: Virtual memory exhausted

[Wesley Craig]

Yeah, that's a good point.  I use sync_batch_size of 100,000.

Regarding the original question, there are other operations that will  
exhaust memory as well.  We've had two recent reports of Thunderbird  
users who unexpectedly developed extremely large cyrus.* files in  
their trash.  Since cyrus.* files get mmap'd, a very large one may  
exhaust the address space of sync_server (or imapd for that matter).
