This is a real issue. The bitcoind process is getting killed every few days when it reaches around 55gb of usage on my server.

Please make sure you measure your memory usage correctly on Linux, it is
notoriously easy to get misleading info from tools like top.
I use this one on Linux.
$cat ~/bin/showmemusage
#!/bin/sh
if test -z "$1"; then
echo "need a pid"
exit
fi
mem=`echo 0 $(cat /proc/$1/smaps | grep Pss | awk '{print $2}' | \
sed 's#^#+#' ) | bc`
echo "$mem KB"
