as we've already said a couple of hundred times in this thread, Python 
uses *all* the memory it can get from the operating system.  no more, no 
less.

(the link I posted yesterday was about a *BIG* 64-bit machine, with lots 
of gigabytes of RAM, and a lot more swap space.  that doesn't help much 
when when someone's set the per-process memory limit to 128 megabytes ;-)
