An attacker with that access can also DoS a program that doesn't slurp using the same technique. Also, on a 64-bit system, a DoS is all you can realistically get from this vector anyway. I don't know what happens if you actually fill Python's available address space (it seems pretty difficult), but I'd be shocked if it were a crash, and not an exception.
