someone reported an out of memory situation on stack overflow for the
following rather innocent looking query:

   way[building](poly:"50.7 7.1 50.7 7.12 50.71 7.11"); (._;>;);out;


/usr/bin/time -v osm3s_query reports the following max memory consumption:

        Maximum resident set size (kbytes): 3042896

Maybe the current limit is still a bit low for those kind of queries?
Looking at a selection of several thousand long running queries, I would
suggest a default hard limit of 4 GB. That would still allow 99,x% of
all queries, with no need for an additional [maxsize: ] setting.

Cheers,
