Limit memory consumption of an ad hoc process

[Victor Sudakov <vas@sibptus.ru>]

Dear Colleagues,

FreeBSD has a simple way to run some ad-hoc program with memory limits:

$ limits -m 2G ./mytest
  memoryuse             2097152 kB
  vmemoryuse           infinity kB
$ limits -m 1G ./mytest
  memoryuse             1048576 kB
  vmemoryuse           infinity kB

How do I do the same in Linux (without root permissions)?
