Have been using some new open-source developer tools. One of them (which I would very much like to use) has a terrible bug when allocating memory which causes it to go instantly from working normally to gobbling up all system memory until I am forced to reboot. On a system with 36GB RAM.
After some googling, it looks like macOS has no way to limit the memory usage of a process (outside of launchd). So I can't protect my machine from crashing while trying to reproduce and debug the issue. 😞
