My problem comes from a word file. This file has a field and a picture inside this field : Sample : http://speedy.sh/2ngXa/BigMemory.doc

If you test it, have a console connected to the server ready to kill (pkill soffice.bin).
You can restart the soffice.bin using :

/opt/alfresco-4.0.d/openoffice/program/soffice.bin "-accept=socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager -env:UserInstallation=file:///opt/alfresco-4.0.d/alf_data/oouser" -nologo -headless -nofirststartwizard -nocrashrep -norestore&‍

Can I set the max memory to soffice.bin to avoid this situation ?

It will be possible with prlimit (http://blog.stgolabs.net/2011/10/prlimit-control-resource-limits.html) but need a recent kernel (kernel 2.6.36)
