Brandon,

Thank you for your reply. I will try that however I'm not sure if this will
affect the cod4 process if it needs ram.

I may cause more problems than fix.

You can use ulimit prior to starting the server to limit the amount of
memory available to yourself.  

ulimit -m 204800

will set a limit of 200MB of physical memory for the current shell and any
processes it launches.

-m == physical memory
-v == virtual memory (swap)
-s == stack (physical and virtual, I believe)

The actual limit is set in kilobytes.
