But the example you put is exactly... well. Usually, an application requiring so much space is clearly misbehaving. Potentially (as in the bug we're talking about) because of an external cause, like the one you can trigger if you prevent the driver from actually rendering and you just let it accumulate commands.

Increasing the command buffer queue will not help but only delay the inevitable...
