The  limit will be configurable, but the problem isn't size. It's security.
I can still overload that 256 GB server pretty easily if I'm trying.

Two more ideas:

1. Should the default limit be based somehow on available memory? and if so
what? e.g. XX% of the heap size?
2. Is it plausible to simply catch an OutOfMemoryError in the Builder and
clean up, or would the system be hosed enough at that point, that cleanup
isn't reliable?
