We may warn if file size reaches or exceeds, say, 90% of available memory.

This depends on OS and VM pressure. For example, on GNU/Linux if I have
just slightly above 8G free:
$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 16127204 7762072 8365132 68248 84396 6401276
-/+ buffers/cache: 1276400 14850804
and asks for 10G, the kernel may shrink page cache by 2G and satisfy
10G mmap request, thus fooling the logic I'm using to issue the warning.
But under some circumstances, this may be not so; in short, I think that
we need to support more OSes and gather more feedback from users.
