Since PHP 5.3 servers running the suhosin extension complain about automatic disabling of the memory_limit by scripts executed via cron (ALERT - script tried to disable memory_limit by setting it to a negative value -1 bytes which is not allowed). The standard MW maintenance scripts introduced the option --memory-limit <some value> to overcome this problem. Thus it might be a good idea to add this functionality to SMW maintenance scripts too.
