I use this on my laptop with 384MB of RAM:

	#include <stdlib.h>

	#define SIZE    224 * 1024 * 1024

	main()
	{
		char *foo;
		int i, pgsize;

		pgsize = getpagesize();
		foo = malloc(SIZE);
		for (i = 0; i < SIZE; i += pgsize)
			foo[i] = 1;
		exit(0);
	}

This didn't work reliably trying to touch 128MB of RAM.  Note that you
may need to set your data size limit up to run with sizes this large.
