Is there a memory limit for wsl processes?

When developing on PyPy I often use large amounts of RAM. It seems I can reproducibly produce a memory error when trying os.popen during development when the memory of a running pypy process reaches ~3GB.

There have been other issues where, IIRC, it was told that it is related to the (probably max) size of the Windows swap file. Do not take my word for it, but if you happen to have ~ 3G there, then I'm probably remembering correctly :)

Looks related to #597.

I made a lot of changes regarding how commit is handled in WSL. The end result is that out of memory errors should happen much less. Give a recent Insider build a try, if you continue to see issues please let us know.
