Hi all,  
I’m using dispatch.fcgi && lighttpd in a environment with memory issues.  
Whenever I try to upload a file which size exceeds the memory limits,  
lighttpd process grows till it fills all the available memory and then  
crash.  
So, what could I do to let upload files of size larger then available  
memory?  
I’m without a clue and it’s a pretty blocking issue…

Thanks in advance.
