Bug#856265: systemd-journald: RuntimeMaxUse is not properly obeyed

[Stephan Sokolow (You actually CAN reply)]

The observed behaviour is *with* the persistent journal.

Forwarding to inetutils-syslogd and using Storage=none results in steady 
memory consumption at 20% of the peak memory I experienced while testing 
Storage=persistent (and that's for both journald and syslogd combined).

"smarter" spambots and remind friends and family to use the custom
