Comment (by michael):

 huge memory allocations can be prevented by limiting through -max_alloc X.
 While its possible in specific cases to more intelligently prevent huge
 allocations, this is not true in general, one can always encounter a file
 that stores a 8000x8000 yuv 4:4:4 16bit video that needs 16 frame buffers.
